Após 16 anos no poder, Viktor Orbán define neste domingo, 12 de abril, seu futuro político na Hungria. Ele enfrenta Peter Magyar, principal nome da oposição nestas eleições legislativas. Com uma participação recorde de 54,14% até o meio-dia, o pleito representa um alto risco para o primeiro-ministro. O resultado ainda é incerto: apesar da popularidade de Magyar, Orbán conta com o apoio da população rural, que pode ser decisivo para o futuro da Hungria na Europa.

Росія продовжить бойові дії проти України після закінчення великоднього перемир’я, яке було оголошено Москвою на 36 годин з 16:00 11 квітня і до кінця доби 12 квітня. Про це заявив представник Кремля Дмитро Пєсков. За словами Пєскова, Росії потрібний «стійкий мир», але він «може наступити, коли ми забезпечимо наші інтереси, досягнемо тих цілей, які ставилися від початку». Представник Кремля стверджує, що цьому заважає позиція президента України Володимира Зеленського. Раніше Пєсков...

(The Center Square) – Unseating an incumbent governor is historically considered an uphill battle for any candidate, even when the party clears the primary field for a single nominee. It’s much harder still when that governor happens to be Josh Shapiro, a popular Democrat once under consideration as Kamala Harris’s running mate and long-rumored to run for president in 2028. Treasurer Stacy Garrity, however, hopes to do just that. “Josh Shapiro has failed us,” Garrity said during the Pennsylvania Leadership Conference at the Penn Harris Hotel in Camp Hill on Friday. “But somehow he believes he deserves a promotion.” “He is more focused on his personal political ambition than fixing the problems that Pennsylvanians are facing today,” she added. Garrity also recalled a story that former President Ronald Reagan would deliver on the campaign trail about how voters' eyes were “opening,” and likened it to the momentum she believes that she’s gaining. Polling and national ratings outlets, however, paint a challenging road ahead. Susquehanna Polling and Research conducted a survey March 9-17 that showed Shapiro leading Garrity by 22 points. A Quinnipiac University poll conducted Feb. 19-23 had Shapiro leading Garrity by 18 points. On March 11, the Cook Political Report, a national ratings outlet, shifted the 2026 governor’s race further in favor of Shapiro, changing the rating from “likely Democratic” to “solid Democratic.” “Shapiro has an approval rating consistently around 60%, a gargantuan cash-on-hand advantage and a decisive polling lead over GOP state Treasurer Stacy Garrity, making it almost impossible to see him coming up short in his quest for a second term,” the Cook Political Report writes as a summary of the race. Pennsylvania Republican Party Chairman Greg Rothman dismissed the reliability of polls in an interview with The Center Square. “Eighteen months ago, an actual poll was taken at the election and every Republican won,” Rothman said. “Trump won by one and a half points. Now, you're telling me that 18 months later, our candidate is down 30 points?” “That's ridiculous. Those aren’t polls,” he continued. “Those are trying to dampen the spirit of Republicans. That's what those polls are being used for. And they're not real polls…I've been at this for a long time, and ultimately the election’s decided on Election Day.” In addition to Trump and Garrity’s victories in 2024, Republicans Tim DeFoor, Dave McCormick, and Dave Sunday won their respective races for statewide office in Pennsylvania. Excluding judicial elections, the last Democrat to win a statewide race in Pennsylvania was Shapiro in 2022. Rothman also told The Center Square that Pennsylvania has a history of upsets, specifically citing the victories of Harris Wofford defeating Dick Thornburgh in 1991 for U.S. Senate, Rick Santorum unseating Wofford in 1994, plus the recent example of Dave McCormick’s victory over three-term U.S. Sen. Bob Casey. It wouldn’t be the first time Garrity unseated an incumbent Democrat. Her rise to statewide office in 2020 came after she defeated Treasurer Joe Torsella by roughly 53,000 votes – the first Republican to do so in nearly three decades. During Garrity’s successful bid for reelection in 2024, she broke a Pennsylvania record for most votes received in a statewide election, which was previously held by Shapiro in his 2022 gubernatorial victory. And this time, Garrity has the support of President Donald Trump, who appeared with her at a Mar-a-Lago fundraiser in Palm Beach, Fla., on March 30. Calling herself a “strong ally,” Garrity touted that hers was among the first campaigns the president endorsed this year. While Trump won Pennsylvania’s 19 electoral votes in 2024 over Vice President Kamala Harris, recent polling shows that a majority in the state disapprove of his job performance. Democrats, including Shapiro, say this association hurts Garrity more than it helps. “As Governor, Josh Shapiro has brought people together to get stuff done for all Pennsylvanians and protect our freedoms and our democracy,” Shapiro’s campaign wrote in a press release, promoting upcoming events. “Whether it’s investing in our schools and small businesses, supporting Pennsylvania law enforcement and farmers, expanding economic opportunity, or standing up to Donald Trump’s chaos, cruelty, and corruption – Governor Shapiro is fighting for Pennsylvania families and continuing to move our Commonwealth forward.” Rothman disagrees. He sees Trump as an asset for Garrity this November, saying that it’s all “about turnout” and that the president brings people to the polls. “We need him here. We need him to come here,” Rothman told The Center Square. “We need him to be talking more about Stacy and Jason.” “We know he's busy trying to save the free world and put men back in space, but yes, I think he will help her,” he added. Rothman said he “100%” expects Trump to campaign for the ticket this year and cited U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson traveling to Pennsylvania this week to boost Republican incumbents in battleground congressional districts. “They know how important Pennsylvania is,” Rothman said. “The most important state in the country, again.” On Saturday, Shapiro hit the campaign trail in north-central Pennsylvania, a region that has historically supported Republican candidates.

(The Center Square) – An Illinois proposal to require insurance coverage for infant allergy prevention is raising questions about potential costs, even as supporters argue it could reduce long-term health spending. State Sen. Darby Hills is backing Illinois Senate Bill 4182, which would require most insurance plans to cover a six-month supply of egg and peanut allergen supplements for infants when prescribed by a health care provider. Hills said the measure is designed to eliminate upfront costs for families and encourage early intervention, which some studies suggest can lower the risk of developing lifelong food allergies. “Families should not have to choose between prevention and cost,” Hills said. But the proposal comes without a clear estimate of how much the new mandate would cost insurers, or how those costs might ultimately affect premiums for consumers. Hills framed the bill as a potential long-term cost saver, arguing that preventing allergies early could reduce the need for expensive treatments later in life, such as ongoing specialist care, allergy shots and emergency interventions. “It seems like a short period of time to address something that could otherwise require years of treatment,” she said. The overall fiscal impact of the proposal remains unclear, but insurers would likely pay the market price for the supplements, estimated at roughly $200 to $400 depending on the brand. Insurance groups typically negotiate discounted rates with manufacturers, and total costs would ultimately depend on those negotiated prices multiplied by the number of eligible infants covered under each plan. The legislation would apply to most individual and group plans in Illinois, including those covering government employees. Some high-deductible plans may be exempt or face limitations due to federal rules, but the bill is intended to reach majority of policyholders. Hills said the proposal was prompted by a constituent whose child suffers from severe food allergies, highlighting both the medical and financial strain such conditions can create over time. “This bill came to me from a constituent whose child suffers from food allergies, and she wanted to help other families going forward,” said Hills. “She felt that, although it was too late for her own child, she could help prevent this for other children.” Food allergies affect roughly one in 10 children in the United States, and research cited by the bill’s supporters suggests early exposure to allergens like peanuts and eggs can reduce the likelihood of developing those allergies. Even so, the legislation’s current focus is narrow — limited to egg and peanut supplements — and Hills indicated it could be expanded later. “We’d need to do more research on early exposure to other allergens, but it’s something worth exploring.”
