Majority Considers Peter Magyar a Risky Choice Because of His Overly Pro-Brussels and Pro-Ukraine Stance

The latest survey by Szazadveg Foundation reveals that 62 percent of Hungarians believe it is likely that Peter Magyar and the Tisza Party, if they come to power, would ban Russian oil and gas from Hungary in line with Brussels’ expectations, while 57 percent think Hungary would be dragged into the Russia–Ukraine war under their leadership. Fifty-six percent of Hungarians see the stakes of the election as preserving Hungary’s peace, security, and energy security. Fifty-one percent consider Peter Magyar an overly pro-Brussels and pro-Ukraine politician, and therefore a risky choice.
