Hungarian politics
Hungarian politics is centered around a parliamentary democracy where the Prime Minister leads the government, and a President has a mostly ceremonial role. The dominant party, historically Fidesz, has shifted policies toward national sovereignty, conservative values, and sometimes controversial issues like immigration. Political debates often focus on balancing relations with the European Union, maintaining economic stability, and cultural identity. The opposition includes various parties advocating for more liberal policies, rule of law, and increased EU integration. Political dynamics reflect tensions between preserving national independence and engaging with international institutions and diverse societal interests.
