Hungary Ahead of Parliamentary Elections - Jóźwiak, Veronika (Polski Instytut Spraw Międzynarodowych, 2018)
Hungarian ruling party Fidesz has sharpened its rhetoric against immigrants at the end of the campaign before the parliamentary elections scheduled for 8 April. The campaign has included elements of criticism towards the UN and a package of draft laws limiting the activities of non-governmental organisations. It is unlikely the government will soften its rhetoric and actions after the elections. This may negatively affect Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's ability to build alliances among the European Christian Democrat parties in the future
