ANDRAS ZOLTAI FOR “THE WORLD” It is only 9 a.m., Wednesday April 8, in Kiskunlachaza, a dormitory town of 10,000 inhabitants an hour’s drive south of Budapest, but several hundred supporters of Péter Magyar came to support the leader of opposition line-up ahead of the Hungarian legislative elections on Sunday April 12.
