Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić joined Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's campaign for the parliamentary elections by participating in a promotional video with ten other politicians, including the prime ministers of several countries, as well as the leaders of the German and French far right.
In the video for the elections, which are now scheduled for April 12, Orban is supported by the prime ministers of Italy, the Czech Republic, and Israel - Giorgi Meloni, Andrej Babiš, and Benjamin Netanyahu, who are most often labeled as right-wing populists.
Among the politicians, however, are far-right opposition leaders in Germany, France, Spain and Austria - co-chairwoman of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) Alice Weidel, leader of the National Rally in France's parliament Marine Le Pen, and the presidents of the Spanish Vox party and the Freedom Party of Austria, Santiago Abascal Conde and Herbert Kickl.
The promotional video for Orban's Fidesz party also features Argentina's right-wing President Javier Miele, Italy's Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini, who is also the leader of the nationalist League party, and former Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, who is now the president of the pan-European European Conservatives and Reformists Party.
The spot, which Orban posted on the X network, begins with a speech by American actor and comedian Rob Schneider, who first supported Robert Kennedy Jr., now the Secretary of Health, and then Republican candidate Donald Trump in the 2024 US election.
Vučić says in the video: "I hope that the next elections will mean a lot to all of us, which means that we will witness another victory for Fidesz."
Hungarian President Tamas Sujok announced today that parliamentary elections will be held on April 12th.
For the first time since returning to power in 2010, Orban faces a strong opponent - Peter Magyar, whose conservative Party of Respect and Freedom (TISZA) is ahead of Fidesz according to most polls.
The Hungarian, a former long-time member of Orban's Fidesz (2002-2024), promises to strengthen the independence of the judiciary, fight corruption, and provide voters with a clear alternative to the current government.
