Until recently, the world was not big enough for Viktor Orbán to adequately appreciate his success. His Fidesz party is the “most successful political community in Europe” whose “two-thirds election victories can be seen from the moon.” Now he could have an opportunity to verify this theory, namely if the Hungarian electorate shoots him to the moon in the upcoming parliamentary election on April 12th. Recent surveys confirm that the opposition party Tisza has an eleven percent lead over Fidesz in the overall electorate and even an increase of 20 percent for Orbán’s competitor Péter Magyar among voters who have already decided to vote.
