In a video address on Friday 10 April, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán alleged that his political rivals would use any means necessary to take control of the government.
Orbán, who has led the EU longer than any current head of state, and his right-wing Fidesz party are currently behind in most independent polling. They are facing a significant challenge from Péter Magyar and his center-right Tisza party.
Orbán accused Tisza of conspiring with international intelligence groups, using threats of violence against Fidesz voters, and making preemptive, false claims of election interference.
Data from the last ten days suggests that public support for Fidesz is continuing to decline.
