Hungary election poll opens amid calls to challenge Orban's rule
Polls are open in Hungary during a key election, spotlighting growing concerns over Prime Minister Orban’s decade-long governance. Critics allege his rule involves cracking down on minorities and subverting democratic institutions.
During his 16 years as Prime Minister, Mr. Orban has launched harsh crackdowns on minority rights and media freedoms, subverted many of Hungary's institutions and been accused of siphoning large sums of money into the coffers of his allied business elite, an allegation he denies.
