Various of crowd chanting and waving Hungarian flags STORYLINE: Supporters of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán marched on the streets of Hungary's capital on Sunday in a show of strength before the pivotal elections four weeks away. Hundreds of thousands of pro-government people, in support of Orbán's nationalist Fidesz party, marched over the Danube River and across downtown Budapest. In power since 2010 and looking for his fifth consecutive election victory, Orbán faces a competitive race as opposition leader Péter Magyar shot to prominence and challenged what once seemed to be an unshakeable grip on power by the pro-Russian populist. As crowds walked on a bridge over the Danube, Orbán supporter Anikó Menyhárt said that "only the current government can ensure the survival of God, homeland, and family.” Hungary's stagnating economy, deteriorating public services and a cost of living crisis - compounded by increasingly salient allegations of government corruption - have helped fuel growing dissatisfaction with Orbán and his autocratic style. The opposition Tisza party, led by Magyar, holds a lead over Fidesz in most independent polling, and in a February survey by pollster Medián, the opposition was at a 20 percentage point advantage among decided voters. Orbán has relied increasingly on an aggressive anti-Ukraine campaign that alleges Kyiv, the EU and Tisza are part of a conspiracy to oust his government and install one that makes decisions more favorable to Ukraine. =========================================================== Find out more about AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/HowWeWork Twitter:   / ap_archive   Facebook:   / aparchives   ​​ Instagram:   / apnews   You can license this story through AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/metadata/you...
