By Krisztina Than and Gergely Szakacs SZEKESFEHERVAR, Hungary (Reuters) - Viktor Orban, Europe's most outspoken nationalist leader, said on Friday Hungary's future would be decided for decades at an election on Sunday in which he vowed to protect his nation from the "rust" of Muslim migrants. After a campaign in which Orban has positioned himself as a saviour of Hungary's Christian culture against Muslim migration into Europe, all opinion polls put his Fidesz party well in the lead for the election. A third straight term for Orban could embolden Hungary's longest serving post-communist premier to solidify a Central European alliance against the European Union's migration policies, and against a deeper integration of the bloc which he opposes.
