"The property caught on camera belongs to the father of the country's prime minister, Viktor Orban, offering a glimpse of the staggering wealth amassed by his inner circle, even as most in Hungary have become poorer."
"Zebras darting across the countryside soon began turning up across the country; plush toys were sold at protests, people posted videos of their own treks to spot the animals, and photos of zebras were plastered over government billboards."
"Most polls suggest Orban and his Fidesz party, who have transformed Hungary into a petri dish for illiberalism, could lose power, in a result that could rattle global far-right movements and reshape Hungary's antagonistic relationship with the EU."
Drone footage revealed a lavish estate owned by Viktor Orban's father, highlighting the wealth of his inner circle. Zebras from a nearby property became a national symbol of corruption. Protests emerged, with zebras featured in plush toys and social media. The opposition movement is gaining momentum as Hungarians prepare to vote in a crucial election, potentially ending Orban's 16-year rule. Polls indicate a possible loss for Orban's Fidesz party, which has fostered illiberalism, but concerns remain about underestimating their support or Orban's ability to maintain power.
