Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban and his ruling Fidesz party are currently facing a difficult period after a recent political setback in April. The Hungarian weekly magazine HVG has drawn attention to the situation with a symbolic image: a photo montage showing Orban exiting a crashed car with an airbag displaying the colors of the Fidesz party. This visual metaphor reflects the party's current struggles and uncertainty about its future. In an article titled "Support in Ruin, Assessing the Damage at Kötcse," HVG examines whether Orban can still effectively lead the party and whether his supporters feel abandoned. The magazine suggests that Orban needs a strong message to reinvigorate his base, while noting that the economic elite tied to his previous government is trying to protect its wealth and influence. Meanwhile, the intellectual and ideological foundation of the regime appears to be fading. HVG also points out that the broader political landscape has shifted, with the right-wing dominance once held by Orban and Fidesz now in question. Supporters of the party feel neglected, and some within Fidesz no longer believe in a revival under Orban's leadership. The party leadership, however, hopes that economic challenges might eventually weaken the support of Peter Magyar, the current leader of the opposition. Magyar is described as actively dismantling the legacy of the previous regime, and many former regime members are now looking to the future abroad. Orban's family members and former allies have relocated to countries such as the United States, Italy, and Dubai. The magazine highlights that the group of experts and media figures who supported the previous regime have also suffered losses. Without public funding, the former inner circle of the regime is struggling financially. HVG also notes a growing trend of radicalism, illustrated by the recent success of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) in regional elections in Germany's Saxony-Anhalt. In Hungary, the government has expelled ten Russian diplomats accused of espionage, showing a continued focus on security and foreign policy issues. Despite these challenges, Peter Magyar is said to be making progress in his first hundred days in power, although not without setbacks. The political landscape in Hungary remains dynamic, with both internal and external forces shaping the country's direction. The situation reflects a broader shift in European politics, where traditional power structures are being tested by new movements and leaders.
