The elections on April 12 are considered the biggest challenge in Viktor Orban's nearly 40-year political career. He will face Peter Magyar, a former member of the Fidesz party, who left the party two years ago to establish the center-right Tisza party. According to most polls, Tisza leads Fidesz by 10% to 20%, with the exception of the pro-government agency Nezopont, which places Fidesz at an advantage. Orban's relationship with former President Trump began in 2016 when Orban was the first EU leader to support Trump. Orban obtained an exemption from U.S. sanctions for Hungary, but this could be revoked if he loses the elections. Hungary, almost alone in the EU, continues to depend on Russian fossil fuels, and Orban has promised to buy more liquefied natural gas from the U.S. However, oil supplies from Russia through the Druzhba pipeline are now problematic, with Orban blaming Ukraine for its non-functioning.
