A crowd of tens of thousands has gathered in Hungary’s capital in a show of strength behind Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. The Saturday demonstration took place a week ahead of European Parliament elections, a contest Orbán has cast as an existential turning point between peace in Europe and a world war.

People march during a rally in support of Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and his party in Budapest, Hungary on Saturday, June 1, 2024. Orbán, whose 14 years in power make him the European Union’s longest serving leader, has focused his campaign for the June 9 European Parliament elections on the war in Ukraine, portraying his domestic and international opponents as warmongers who seek to involve Hungary directly in the conflict.

On Saturday, he told supporters it was time for his party to “occupy Brussels” — the European Union’s de facto capital — and transform the continent’s approach to support for Ukraine as it fends off Russia’s invasion.A climate activist in Paris stuck a protest poster on Monet’s ‘Poppy Field’“We can only stay out of the war if Hungarian voters support the government,” he said during a speech on Margaret Island.
