BUDAPEST, Hungary, April 8, 2018 (News agencies) - Hungarians cast their ballots in a national election Sunday, a test of whether Prime Minister Viktor Orban—a fierce nationalist and leading figure on the European right—will retain his lock on parliament following a campaign in which he denounced immigrants and international institutions. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban cast his vote on Sunday in the parliamentary election, saying the ballot is about "Hungary's future." Orban, who voted with his wife at a Budapest school near their home, told a crowd of reporters that he will "respect the decision" of the Hungarian voters. Orban, who seeking his third consecutive term, and fourth overall since 1998, says he's voting early so he could keep campaigning until polling stations close Sunday evening. Orban, who focused his campaign on his harsh anti-migration stance, says it's a "misunderstanding" that his frequently harsh criticism of Brussels was directed at the whole of the European Union.
