(6 Apr 2018) Hungary's main political parties are holding their last major rallies before Sunday's parliamentary elections.
Gergely Karacsony, the leading left-wing candidate told a crowd of supporters a government led by him "will try to make amends for all the sins of the past eight years" under current Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
At their rallies, Hungary's left-wing parties criticised Orban's authoritarian tendencies and his government's alleged large-scale corruption.
"I've already seen many politicians who promised nice things before the elections but changed after getting in the vicinity of power," Karacsony, candidate for the left-wing Socialist Party and the Dialogue party, said at a rally in Budapest.
"Viktor Orban is such a man, too. He lost his original character. Not a single word of what he said is true and it's clear that he didn't change the country. Power changed him."
Orban warned again about the supposed dangers of mass migration during his speech on Friday, reiterating a supposed plot claiming that the opposition parties - in cahoots with the United Nations, the European Union and financier George Soros - will settle 10,000 migrants in Hungary this year if they win the elections.
Gabor Vona, of the nationalist Jobbik party, as well as the two other parties most likely to win parliamentary seats - the green Politics Can Be Different, and former Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsany's Democratic Coalition - were also holding rallies to motivate voters to cast ballots in their support.
Polls expect Orban's Fidesz party to win but there's uncertainty about its likely margin of victory.
