European far-right leaders gather in Budapest to support Viktor Orbán

Far-right and nationalist politicians from across Europe gathered in Budapest for a rally supporting Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. The event, called the "Patriots Grand Assembly," featured speeches from figures like France's Marine Le Pen, who called Orbán a friend, and a message of praise from President Donald Trump.

Meanwhile, the European Union has demanded explanations from Hungary over allegations that Orbán's government has been informing Russia about confidential EU meetings for years. Orbán's main political opponent has called the alleged backchannel an act of treason that must be investigated.
