Following the landslide victory of Peter Magyar over Hungary's long standing autocratic ruler Viktor Orbán, Genie Godula is pleased to welcome Ian Bond, former Senior British Diplomat and Deputy Director of the Centre for European Reform.
Bond sees this election within broader European political dynamics, particularly the limits of right-wing populism, the legacy of hardline governance, and the implications for EU cohesion and Ukraine policy.
Hungary’s political shift invites cautious optimism, explains Bond.
Change will be partial and contested rather than immediate or transformative.
