Tisa's ranking is on the rise.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is approaching the election with a sharply weakened position amid a series of high-profile scandals that are already hitting the ratings of his party Fidesz. This is what "Ukrainska Pravda" writes. The elections will be held in exactly two weeks, on April 12.
According to the text, panic has started inside the government after the closed data on Orban's falling support, and sociologists are already discussing not the preservation of his power, but the possibility of a confident victory of the opposition party "Tisa" Peter Magyar.
The latest polls show that the rating of "Tisa" is growing, while the rating of the party "Fidesz" continues to decline. The day before, Orbán was booed altogether. The latest poll, conducted in the second half of March, showed a tragic picture for Orban. Tisa's rating is rising significantly. Fidesz's rating is slowly falling.
Orbán's party's rating has plummeted amid a string of scandals that have hit him in the space of just one week. Journalists have uncovered corrupt ties to Moscow, vote-buying and threats to opposition journalists.
Orban's team has chosen as its main strategy to pin all problems on Ukraine, but voters are not impressed by these slogans. One of the main directions of the counterattack is to hang all the problems on Ukraine.
The scandals hit Orban. Several stories hit Orban at the same time. The text talks about surveillance of the opposition, fabrication of a case against people connected with Tisa and pressure on opponents of the government through trumped-up charges.
Other stories about political repression and actions of the intelligence services against the opposition environment resonated separately.
Another blow came to the topic of bribery by Moscow: money and valuables could be delivered from Russia under the cover of official trips of the Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjártó, as well as the scandal of information leaks in favor of the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
Background of these stories, the actions of the authorities in Hungary itself began to be perceived as chaotic and panicky, which only increased the irritation of part of society.
