Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico wrote on social network X that he wishes Orbán to achieve all political goals and called him a resolute defender of national interests. He also emphasized that together with the Hungarian leader, he is working to strengthen relations between the countries and support national minorities.
Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš also publicly spoke out in support of Orbán. According to him, the Hungarian leader has always championed the idea of a strong Europe based on state sovereignty, peace, and competitiveness. Babiš also noted that in unstable times, it is important to choose proven and stable leadership.
Earlier, US President Donald Trump expressed his support for Orbán. He stated that he is ready to promote Hungary's economic development if Orbán remains in power, and called him a strong and influential leader.
The elections in Hungary are scheduled for April 12 and are considered one of the most challenging for Orbán throughout his rule since 2010. According to polls, the opposition "Tisza" party has every chance to overtake the ruling "Fidesz" party.
Viktor Orbán himself warns that his possible departure from office could jeopardize the country's achievements, and urges voters to support his course.
