Hungary's leader, Viktor Orban, said the EU is a big danger. He thinks it is a bigger danger than Russia. Orban wants to stop the EU's "machinery." He also wants to remove "foreign influence" from Hungary.
These words come before an election. Orban calls the election a choice between "war and peace." He wants to make his supporters happy. He is against EU rules and liberal ideas. Hungary likes its own way of doing things. They do not like some groups and people.
Orban calls the EU "Brussels." He is saying new things about the EU. He said Russia is not a big problem. But he said the EU is a real danger. This makes Russia seem less scary. Hungary may be more friendly to Russia. This is happening with war in Ukraine.
A former US leader, Donald Trump, likes Orban's party. Trump said Orban fights against global groups. This shows people outside Hungary are watching. It also shows Orban is part of a nationalist movement.
A US leader, Marco Rubio, will visit Hungary. He is visiting Europe. This shows the US is watching this area. It is important for leaders with nationalist ideas. These visits show the election is important.
But Orban has problems at home. New polls show another party may be winning. Many voters might want a new direction. We will see if Orban wins another term.
