BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Hungarian Socialist party leader Attila Mesterhazy challenged Prime Minister Viktor Orban to a televised debate at an opposition rally on Sunday, ahead of the election on April 6 that Orban's Fidesz party looks well-placed to win.
A leftist alliance led by Mesterhazy has struggled to gain traction with voters with a March survey by pollster Tarki putting the alliance grouping at 16 percent of all voters, just ahead of far-right party Jobbik, while Fidesz was backed by 38 percent of voters.
