Election in Hungary
Orbán's future could be decided in the Hungarian countryside
In two weeks, Hungary will hold an election that will largely determine the future of nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. According to analysts and experts, there is much evidence that the election could be decided in the countryside.
Half of the Hungarian population lives in small towns, villages and communities. These voters have long voted for Orbán's party Fidesz, but this year that could change.
Opposition leader Péter Magyar, who has a significant lead according to opinion polls, looks set to have a good chance of attracting voters in the countryside.
Some voters that the AFP news agency spoke to hope that Magyar can bring about a change in the Hungarian leadership. Others point to the stronger economy during Orbán's 16 years in power.
