Czech politicians: Hungary under Orban remains democratic state

MEP Alexandr Vondra says that Hungary under Viktor Orban remains a democratic country and that Sunday’s elections are free. He made the comment in a Czech Television debate show. Pavel Telička, a former MEP, also rejected the idea that Hungary had an authoritarian regime, though he said its election campaign had not been entirely fair.

Both politicians said Peter Magyar, who is challenging Mr. Orban, was likely to win and would improve relations between Budapest and the European Union.
