This statement comes at a critical time for his party, Fidesz, which according to most independent polls, has continued to lose ground over the past week and a half against the emerging center-right candidate, Péter Magyar, and his Tisza party.
Orban has hardened his rhetoric by claiming that the opposition is "conspiring with foreign intelligence agencies" and threatening his supporters with acts of violence. According to the Prime Minister, there is an organized and orchestrated international attempt to undermine the Hungarian people's decision through chaos, pressure, and smear campaigns. He also denounced that false accusations of electoral fraud are being made even before the elections take place on Sunday.
The speech concluded with a call for mobilization and national unity. Facing what Orban describes as the "great European crisis looming ahead," the right-wing leader has pledged to protect all Hungarian families if he manages to renew his mandate. With polls against him and an increasingly polarized political landscape, Orban reminded voters that "the key is in your hands on Sunday", marking what many analysts consider the most uncertain electoral battle of his long political career.
