2026 Hungarian Parliamentary Election

Few elections in the EU are likely to be as important for the Community’s politics as the Hungarian parliamentary election on April 12th. For years, the relationship between Budapest and Brussels has been tense. There are disputes over the rule of law, migration, and above all, Hungary’s stance on Russia.
