There's to be a 12 April election for the national parliament....Viktor Orbán with the Fidesz–KDNP Party was set to lose (2nd place). If you watch Germany's ZDF or ARD network news....they are the 'bad' guys.
Projected winner? Péter Magyar of the TISZA Party (the 'good' guys).
Polling up until last week....gave TISZA the 'nod' with around 52-percent of voter support, with Orban's group around 37-percent, and two minor parties carrying remainder.
So....done? Well....no.
Oddly, Péter Magyar now says that in 2024, his then-girlfriend (after his divorce from the wife) set up a honey trap to secretly record them having sex. He says Orbán’s camp plans to publish to ruin and blackmail him.
The funny side of this? Magyar, more or less....indicates that this 'trap' was a party where it was known to be 'drugs' (left out the type) available. He doesn't say cannabis (it'd be easy to say he was stupid)....so you are left to wonder what it was.
So the effect on the election? Drug-party....sex in the mix....blackmail?
I would imagine the under-30 crowd don't care and will still go to Magyar (they might even see the sex stuff in a positive light). The over-40 crowd....probably half of them are asking questions, and probably see Orban as a 'safe' vote. In eight weeks....it's probably a 44-40 situation...with Orban barely winning.
The cherry on this whole mess? Magyar's ex-wife has a fair amount of criticism over his behavior from the marriage.
Various dynamics at play, and as much as the EU want Orban gone....the change-dynamic is hooked up with a guy with issues.
