Majority of Hungarians believe April 12 election will be rigged or manipulated

they're not wrong to think that

Orban is losing. Next is Vucic. Then hopefully Putin dies and Trump is impeached and imprisoned for life.

Remember to vote. Inaction is the main thing empowering oppressors.

If Orban wins again (after the bad polling he are getting now..) it probably is & rigged by Russia ..

> Following the 2010 Hungarian parliamentary elections, in which the Fidesz party secured a two-thirds supermajority, the government implemented fundamental reforms to the electoral system, officially codified through Act CCIII of 2011. These reforms significantly altered the electoral framework from the system established after the Cold War, aiming to create a more efficient, w*****-take-all structure that critics argue unfairly favored the governing party. Key changes enacted post-2010 include: > Reduction in Parliament Size: The number of parliamentary seats was drastically reduced from 386 (established in 1990) to 199, aiming for a more "reasonable" size. > Shift in Electoral Weight: The proportion of seats elected in single-member constituencies increased from 46% to 53% (106 seats), increasing the w*****-take-all element. > Gerrymandering and Redrawing Boundaries: Constituency boundaries were overhauled. Analysts, such as Kim Lane Scheppele, noted that boundaries were redrawn to pack opposition voters into fewer districts and divide Fidesz-leaning areas to maximize their seats. > Abolition of Two-Round System: The traditional two-round system (a run-off between the top two candidates) was abolished and replaced with a single-round, first-past-the-post system in constituencies. This allowed candidates to win with less than 50% of the vote. > "W***** Compensation" (Fractional Votes): The reform introduced a unique "w***** compensation" mechanism, where surplus votes from winning candidates (votes beyond what was needed to win) were added to the party's national list total, strengthening the party with the most votes. > Extension of Voting Rights: In 2012, voting rights were extended to ethnic Hungarians living abroad (primarily in neighboring countries) who do not have a residence in Hungary, allowing them to vote for party lists. > These reforms were implemented to consolidate the electoral power of the ruling Fidesz party, facilitating their continued two-thirds majorities in subsequent elections.

Putin and Trump are going to make sure Orban stays in power. And when they are done there, they are coming ofr the next countries in EU. Russia snd USA pose an existential threat to Europe. Our politicians have to take it more seriously and start treating USA as the enemies are they are.

If Orban wins there will be riots, big ones. We won't let them steal our future

It will obviously be. The question is, if they can rig it hard enough to win

Something tells Putin ally orban is gonna get his gestapo to rig the votes in his favor

I'm actually fairly optimistic. If the Axis of Orange was so sure they could just cheat their way to victory, why send Vance? Or Netanyahu? Why all the billboards? I think they're worried.

The world will know Orban lost. Everyone is out on the streets! Hungary wants freedom from Putin. The world is done with Putin and Donald.

Good news everyone!!!! 

Trump is trying to buy Orban a win as well! As the good Russian asset Trump are!

Trump is gonna do the same. Because that's what far-right nationalists do.

Their right. 2 or the 3 most powerful countries in the world endorse Orban. Those two countries are also currently the most blatantly corrupt.

It’s up to Hungarians to prove it like Venezuelans did.

The last 3 were so why break tradition now?

Putin holds the strings..

I do believe it too and I'm not Hungarian.

already videos floating around of thugs patrolling voting booths, exactly like in russia and belarus

Go vote! Few votes can be manypulated, but not milions.

Thankfully they were wrong. Orban has conceded. Tisza will most likely win supermajority.

Does this poll reflect the rural areas as well,or is this sentiment mostly coming from Budapest?

We think so also, AND we expect same here in US

And they are right to think it. Here is hoping the projections hold true.

"Will be"? We have videos of local fidesz functionaries paying and holding a block party for people who voted for them. [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0SmMIYcF1tg](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0SmMIYcF1tg)

Not just Hungarians that believe that.

Bro, the past few days events have started to make me believe as if Hungary is a random third world country, that any other country can control? Wtf

The headline is somewhat misleading. >But 79% of the Hungarian public fear **foreign interference** in the electoral process. When I think of 'rigged or manipulated', I think of problems with *votes* (or those casting them) rather than foreign *pressure*. I mean, the US Vice President went down to Hungary to rah-rah the current administration - did 21% of Hungarians sleep in or something? 'Foreign interference' is a consequence of the global world we live in. If we took it seriously, the US should be hauling journalists from across the world in for articles critical of Trump. There are obviously levels to it, but there is a big jump between 'foreign press prints copy critical of X' or 'foreign dignitary comes to shake hands and say 'you do a good job' and 'rigging' or 'manipulation'.

Yeah, i am also afraid orban will suddenly win with 123% of the votes like his r*ssian owner

It most certainly will be... question is, whether it's enough to allow that Fascist scumbag to steal the election & cling to power.

I know how they feel

But pleas vote anyway!

2 hours, 10 minutes from now until we know the election results, correct? 8PM Hungary's time IS normally when we'd know who wins this?

That pos jd couch f***** flew to hungary, probably had fElons software to rig election machines with him to implement over there. Its not a spy novel, these idiots are truly stupid enough to get caught with every crime they commit.

How's the beatles song go? "We're gonna have a....peaceful reaction to rigged elections" oh no that's not the one

Majority of the world believes that.

I mean....it worked in the United States.

We'll know in 24hrs.

Orban knows he's up against the ropes, obviously he's going to try to rig it

if it is, they need to protest until Orban is forcibly removed from office. I’m worried too. it’s clear he will lose a fair election, but will he pull a Lukashenko?

Get ducked orban

Republican playbook.

It happened in USA and it's going to happen again.

Maybe Elon Musk helps Putin and Trump

Do they still think it was rigged?

Multiple Americans do, too.

they dont think this, thats the fact already jusz study how their election works how they changed it in favor to their benefit ( in rificulous fasion ) not just some small benefit too. Voting from abroad banned for people who left this shtshow 

But JD Vance is there to stop the EU from getting involved. /s

cant we just eject them from the EU already? Hungary is the shit child of Europe.

Orban WOULD lose if it wasn't rigged, I'm certain of it. Conservatives DO NOT WIN national elections while gas prices are rising to this degree (if they are the incumbent). The only historical counterexample to this is Bush 2 winning in 2004, but he flooded everything with the message that Kerry would raise gas prices even higher due to his promise of a $0.50 gas tax (for the environment). As always, ppl chose money over the environment. Orban doesn't have a message like that. If this election is fair, he'll lose. Conservatives need to stay home to save gas money. They're not even motivated enough to get to the polls b/c their feelings have big boo boos due to the higher gas prices. The price of oil is the MAIN factor in whether or not they'll show up to vote b/c higher gas prices never fails to put a face on conservatives akin to the face a baby makes when it shits itself. It's not like they're going to stop acting based on feelings and start thinking NOW. That simply won't happen and fortunately they feel terrible right now. Correct me if there are more examples of incumbent conservatives winning NATIONAL elections while gas prices are soaring like this, please. I'm looking forward to bad news for Putin soon with these election results.
