Hungary will elect a new parliament on Sunday. Opposition leader Peter Marki-Zay will face Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who has been in power since 2010.

Europe's press sees various scenarios for the future.

The 23rd EU-China summit will take place on the first of April via video conference. The main topic will be the war in Ukraine and its global repercussions. China has declared itself neutral in the conflict and has not condemned the Russian invasion.
