Politics in Hungary is characterized by a parliamentary system, where the Prime Minister is the head of government. The National Assembly, consisting of 199 members, is responsible for making laws and overseeing the executive branch. The political landscape has been dominated by the Fidesz party, led by Viktor Orbán, since 2010, which has implemented various reforms affecting the judiciary and media. Hungary is a member of the European Union and has faced criticism for its approach to democracy and rule of law. Issues such as immigration, national sovereignty, and economic policies are central to political debates, influencing both domestic and international relations.
