Hungary Votes: Could 16 Years of Orbán Rule End?

Hungarians voted Sunday in a tense election. The opposition presents its strongest-ever challenge to Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who has led for 16 years. A record number of citizens turned out. Voters are choosing between a promise of change and the stability of long-term rule. At a Budapest polling station, 22-year-old Fruzsi shared the mood of many. "I think everyone is hopeful," she said. "It feels like we might be writing history tonight." The country faces an unpredictable outcome. The atmosphere mixes hope, anxiety, and fear as votes are counted.
