EU and democracy at stake in Hungary parliamentary polls

If long-time Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban emerges victorious from this month's general election it will have consequences far beyond the central European country, analysts say. Since his return to power in 2010, Orban has repeatedly tussled with the European Union, with Polish and Irish leaders condemning his government's close links with Moscow as "sinister" and "repulsive" Tuesday after the latest revelations of leaked phone calls between foreign minister Peter Szijjarto and his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov.
