US VP Vance backs Hungary's Orban, condemns EU 'interference'

US Vice President JD Vance voiced strong support for Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban during a visit to Budapest ahead of key parliamentary elections this weekend. Vance praised Orban's nationalist policies and sharply criticized Brussels, alleging 'foreign election interference' in Hungary's domestic politics. This endorsement highlights growing alignment between US conservative leadership and Orban's government, which has often clashed with the EU over democratic standards and governance.
