‘Those who meet PM Orbán can only be radical and far-right, populist and alt-right actors according to the left.’

Orbán is asking everyone to let doctors and nurses do their jobs, and not to distribute fake videos.
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has confirmed he will attend the inaugural Board of Peace summit in Washington, where he is expected to meet President Donald Trump. The visit comes amid growing speculation that Trump could travel to Budapest in the near future and follows the US president’s renewed public endorsement of Orbán ahead of Hungary’s upcoming parliamentary election in April.
US President Donald Trump gave his enthusiastic endorsement to Prime Minister Viktor Orbán of Hungary in the 2026 Hungarian parliamentary election, in which he called him ‘a strong leader with a proven track record of delivering phenomenal results’. Six out of eight candidates or referendum options that have received President Trump’s endorsement outside the US ended up winning their respective elections.
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said the government will cover 30 per cent of households’ January energy costs after extreme cold weather, warning that ending the utility price cap would double or triple bills and threaten energy security.
Viktor Orbán has backed AfD co-chair Alice Weidel’s demand that Ukraine pay reparations for the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines, retweeting her speech in which she vowed to make Kyiv ‘repay’ the damage. The intervention follows mounting evidence of Ukrainian involvement in the 2022 explosions and adds to growing pressure on European governments to confront responsibility for the attack.
‘We have a President of the United States who decided that he will not simply serve out his four years in office, but will get things done. He will solve problems, he will achieve goals,’ Prime Minister Viktor Orbán of Hungary said at an anti-war rally in Kaposvár, Hungary, over the weekend. Meanwhile, the first-ever trilateral talks are taking place between Russia, Ukraine, and the US in the UAE.
Viktor Orbán has warned that Ukraine is trying to influence Hungary’s election by escalating attacks on his government over EU accession and war funding. After Zelenskyy said leaders like Orbán ‘deserve a smack’, FM Andrii Sybiha accused Budapest of serving Putin and likened Orbán to WWII-era far-right leader Ferenc Szálasi. Hungary says both Brussels and Kyiv are interfering in April’s vote.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy used his Davos speech to lash out at Viktor Orbán, the EU, and even Donald Trump, accusing Europe of weakness and calling out ‘every “Viktor”’ he claims lives off EU money while ‘selling out’ European interests. Orbán hit back by calling Zelenskyy ‘a man in a desperate position’, insisting Hungary will not support Ukraine’s war effort while continuing humanitarian aid.
The European Parliament has voted by a razor-thin margin to send the EU–Mercosur agreement to the CJEU for a legal opinion—an outcome hailed by Hungary’s Csaba Dömötör as a Patriots for Europe-driven breakthrough for farmers. With only ten votes separating the sides, the Patriots’ bloc claims it tipped the balance against an EPP-backed push to fast-track the deal.
