“Hungarian [voter] turnout has broken every record. A lot of people turned out to vote, because they treated this is a national election, not a European election, because of the turmoil that has been happening in Hungary the last couple of months, after a scandal has shaken trust in the current governing party and has upended opposition dynamics,” Gergely Rajnai, a lecturer and researcher at the Faculty of Political Science at Corvinus University in Budapest, told BTA in an interview.
