The Guardian always tries to spin these things. Orbán might be facing a challenge, but 'turning of the tide' is a huge stretch. His brand of nationalist rhetoric has real staying power in many parts of Europe, especially with current migration issues. Feels like pure wishful thinking from a paper that clearly despises him.

What exactly does 'bigger role' mean? And is Spain really the one to be asking this, given their relative geopolitical weight? Seems a bit... optimistic.

Honestly, this is why I stick to direct search or reputable news sources. AI summaries always felt... off. Like, where's this info *really* coming from, and who else is getting a cut?

So this means it's not looking good for Orban then? I really hope so.

Ukraine says a lot. TVP World isn't exactly a neutral source.

I really want to believe this, but it feels like every election cycle we get a 'new hope' figure, and then nothing fundamentally changes. Fidesz has such a grip, it's hard to imagine anyone truly breaking through their system.

16 years is an incredibly long run for any modern European leader. Makes you wonder about the 'pivotal' nature of these elections when they keep winning.
