The US vice-president's visit is the latest show of White House support for the Hungarian leader.

Last month, Trump said Orbán had his “complete and total support” in a video message to the Hungarian Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Budapest.

On Sunday Orbán faces Péter Magyar, a former insider in the prime minister’s Fidesz party, who broke with him two years ago to found the centre-right Tisza party.

Tisza leads Fidesz by between 10% and 20% in most polls. Only the strongly pro-government Nézőpont agency puts Fidesz narrowly ahead.

    Completely anti-western? Are you saying democracy shouldn’t exist and everyone should be against it?

          I prefer collaborative democracy rather than competitive democracy which liberalism offeres. The closest example to collaborative one you will get is Cuba, while not perfect it is far more democratic in true sense.
