Hungarian presidential election soon.
Viktor Orban of Fidesz and Peter Magyar of Tisza are both very anti-immigration by EU standards. They support strict border protection, while opposing EU Migration and Asylum Pact, relocation quotas, mandatory migrant intake from other EU countries, etc.
Magyar accuses Orban of corruption (which is not unfounded) and of hypocrisy on immigration; Orban still allows non-EU guest workers, particularly Asians, into the country. Magyar claims Tisza will ban all non-EU guest workers and deport those already in Hungary.
Overall, Orban appears more ideologically hardline on immigration, painting it as a civilizational crisis and strongly opposing EUrocrats, while Magyar seems more pragmatic and softer on the EU.
I have no idea if Magyar is sincere or merely appropriating RW talking points for his campaign, like Donald Tusk of Poland, who later allied with leftists when in power, cracked down on the RW, passed "hate speech" laws, EU Digital Services Act censorship, etc.
