HUNGARY: Poll Gives Opposition Slight Lead Over Orban’s Fidesz Party

HUNGARY
  • Equities trading resumes in Budapest after the national holiday yesterday.
  • A survey by 21 Research Center published by the Partizan news website shows Magyar’s Tisza pulling ahead of Orban’s Fidesz. While the lead is within the margin of error, it represents the first time Fidesz has its advantage since Orban returned to power in 2010.
  • In a speech yesterday, Orban tried to portray the new opposition force as subservient to Brussels, Bloomberg reported. Magyar is pledging to steer Hungary back to the European mainstream, though he’s also been trying to strike a patriotic tone similar to Orban’s on several issues.
  • There are no data releases scheduled for today, with unemployment rate figures for September on the docket tomorrow (Est: 4.2%; Prior: 4.2%).
