Ukraine sees Hungarian politics as monolithic. There is irremovable Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who won the elections for the fourth time and obtained a constitutional majority with the slogan "enemies surrounding Hungary." Therefore, he has the support of his people and represents their position. In reality, the situation is much more diverse. The best indicator is that, winning in villages, small towns, among the "diaspora", Orbán has almost lost control over the educated capital. Elected in 2019, the mayor of Budapest, Gergely Karácsony, remains the most popular city politician and represents the "other Hungary", which position is almost unknown in Ukraine.
