Tense elections in Hungary: Fidesz, accused of disinformation on TikTok, in a scenario similar to that of Călin Georgescu in Romania

In the context of the upcoming elections in Hungary, scheduled for April 12, the political atmosphere is becoming increasingly tense. Magyar Peter, the leader of the Tisza party and the main opponent of Prime Minister Viktor Orban, has accused Fidesz of a disinformation campaign on TikTok, similar to that in Romania. He claims that the government is using artificial intelligence to generate thousands of videos aimed at discrediting Tisza candidates. Magyar stated that this strategy represents an electoral fraud based on lies and attacks on personal rights.

According to the latest polls, Tisza is at the forefront of voter preferences, while the far-right party Our Homeland could gain seats in Parliament. However, these polls have had contradictory results in the past. In support of Orban, Donald Trump stated that the Hungarian Prime Minister is a strong and influential leader, appreciating his efforts for the country. Political tensions are rising as the elections approach, and the communication strategy of the parties is becoming increasingly aggressive.
