News Topical, Digital Desk : Parliamentary elections are being held in Hungary today. The Hungarian elections are not just about electing a single government, but have also created a stir in global geopolitics. Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who has been in power for 16 years, faces a tough challenge this time, as opposition leader Peter Magyar is giving him a tough fight.
Most notably, US interference in the upcoming parliamentary elections in Hungary, and the Trump administration's open support for it, has raised concerns within the European Union.
JD Vance has already declared himself PM.
In fact, US Vice President J.D. Vance has already declared Viktor Orban the next Prime Minister of Hungary before the vote, as the US fears that Orban's defeat could push Hungary completely into the Russian camp amid growing conflict with the EU.
Orban has opposed the EU's refugee policy from the outset. Donald Trump and Viktor Orban both share conservative ideologies. Trump views Orban as a "disruptor" who could weaken Europe.

The race has become increasingly fierce, with polls indicating a lead for Peter Magyar, leader of the opposition Tisza party, and the US has come out in support of Viktor Orban.
What will the future hold?
Amid accusations of democratic decline and centralised rule, today's vote will determine the future of right-wing politics in Europe and the internal unity of NATO.
