Hungary’s Orban Heads to Campaign Finale Facing Opposition Surge

Hungary’s election campaign was heading for its finale, with Prime Minister Viktor Orban urging voters Friday to keep him as the safe bet, while thousands of young opposition supporters filled a square in Budapest celebrating his potential political demise.

Orban addressed the nation two days before pivotal elections, saying that ousting him after 16 years in office, as independent polls suggest may happen, would imperil the nation.
