TC 00:00 – 00:10
(FF sitting in middle of young crowd, students) Budapest, Hungary’s capital, has often been where the political mood shifts, with young people in particular driving change.
TC 00:11 – 00:31
 Vox 1, male (18 years old, Hungarian) 
I’d really like to live in a country where, as student, we can live and fulfill ourselves freely, where a government would act to increase acceptance and educate the public a bit. It’d also be great if the country wasn’t being robbed. They should deal with real issues: healthcare, public transport, not even to mention: education” 
TC 00:31 – 00:39
It’s not just first-time voters – it’s easy to find people in the city who are disillusioned with the current system.
TC 00:39 – 00:51
Vox 2, female (in her 40s, Hungarian)
 “I want to feel that this country [the government] exists to be there for us and not for the top ten thousand. The things that happen, I want to trust that they are happening for me and the people around me.”

Prime Minister Viktor Orban has ruled Hungary for the last 15 years, with a supermajority of two-thirds of parliament. But now Peter Magyar and his center-right Tisza Party, are leading in many opinion polls.  And yet there’s a catch: he could win the election and form a government – but to make real change: Magyar would have to win - or build - a supermajority.

“That’s because Orban’s government introduced a new constitution in 2011 which makes it very hard to change what it calls cardinal laws. Two thirds of parliamentary votes are needed for changes to things like election law, some media regulations and how judges are appointed. Orban’s government has that two-thirds majority and has made many significant changes in these areas. If the governing party loses the election but the winner DOESN’T have that majority, Orban’s laws would remain.”

So how could Peter Magyar score a meaningful win? Some polls suggest as many as 29 percent are undecided right now.  Analysts say this would likely drop significantly by election day. But they could still be crucial. To win them over, Magyar will have to persuade them he can solve their economic problems.

 “On the one hand, their assessment of the situation would point to voting for the opposition. They are suffering from the difficult economic climate. They also feel that prices are high, wages are low, and the country is stagnating. On the other hand, however, a significant portion of them - those who can even decide who would be the better leader, Orbán or Magyar [PRONOUNCE: MA-yar] - rather choose Orbán. For them, the idea hasn’t come up yet or at all that there could be an alternative.

TC 02:43 – 03:08
We are headed to rural Hungary where support for Orban’s Fidesz party has traditionally been very strong. Here in Pusztavacs about two thirds voted for Fidesz in the last election. 
Families and older people form a key part of Orban’s support, but some are no longer so sure. Jutka says, she had hoped things would get better under Fidesz…

Vox Jutka, female 
“Unfortunately, the salary is very low, and the pension won’t be much higher either. So, it’s a very hard decision.” (Hungarian)

TC 03:25 – 03:48
Péter Magyar has been touring smaller towns and rural regions like Pusztavacs for months, trying to persuade voters like Jutka that he can offer a better future.
On the world stage, if Orban gets US and Russian presidents to meet in Budapest for Ukraine talks, that could boost his image and his polls.
