The Read
Run from Budapest, Hungary is a parliamentary republic in Europe. 9.6 million people; that scale shapes the politics.
In Hungary the prime minister governs only as long as parliament lets them. The presidency, if it exists, is usually a referee — not the show.
Hungary's political landscape includes 2 elections, 120 political parties, and 2 offices.
