Camino Mortera-Martinez, a research fellow at the Centre for European Reform, described the question as "absolutely biased" and pointed to its loaded language. "The way the question has been put to the people, I think Orban is likely to win," she said.

...Mortera-Martinez explained that Eastern European countries are "much more uniform" than Western European countries because they have "no colonial history, so no huge swaths of migration" from outside Europe.

"They've also just come out from a recent invasion from a foreign power so they are much more cautious of foreigners," she said, referring to Hungary's period under Nazi and then Soviet control.
