'If the opposition does not unite, we have no chance': Hungary opposition candidate Márki-Zay

TALKING EUROPE © FRANCE 24

He's a relative political novice, but Péter Márki-Zay believes he can unseat one of Europe's longest-serving leaders: Viktor Orban. For the first time ever, all of Hungary's opposition parties have united to choose one candidate for the spring 2022 election via a primary. Márki-Zay, the mayor of Hódmezővásárhely (population 44,000), emerged as the winner in the second round run-off. He tells FRANCE 24 why he is standing and how he would lead Hungary.

Produced by Georgina Robertson, Perrine Desplats, Isabelle Romero and Céline Schmitt.
