Viktor Mihály Orbán is a Hungarian politician and the current prime minister of Hungary. He was born and raised in Hungary and is well-versed in law and political science. He entered politics as the head of the youth group ‘Alliance of Young Democrats’ or ‘Fidesz.’ He was elected to the ‘National Assembly’ and later transformed ‘Fidesz’ from a liberal group to a center–right national conservative group. Orbán became the prime minister in 1998, when his party won the parliamentary elections. However, in the next two terms, ‘Fidesz’ lost to the ‘Hungarian Socialist Party,’ and Orbán became the opposition leader. Later, a leaked audio of a ‘Socialist Party’ premier’s speech led to the collapse of that government. Soon, Orbán and his party won the elections with an overwhelming majority. His government introduced some significant constitutional and legislative reforms. His political views are considered “illiberal,” and his government is often accused of authoritarianism. Some of the reforms of his government drew strong criticism, but his nationalist protectionist policies during the immigrant crisis earned considerable appreciation. His party continued to maintain its supermajority in the 2014 and 2018 elections. Orbán is the third-longest-serving premier of Hungary. He is married to Anikó Lévai, and they have five children.
