Published 8 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
In this special episode of the Visegrad Insight podcast, Staś Kaleta talks with Szabolcs Panyi and Luca Soltesz, who reflect on the record-breaking Budapest Pride March and its wider political implications for Hungary ahead of the 2026 elections.
They explore how the spontaneous mobilisation signals growing anti-government sentiment, the strategic silence of opposition leader Péter Magyar and the troubling rise in surveillance and far-right obstruction backed by Orbán’s weakening regime.
