Péter Magyar ousts Viktor Orbán
The election results have sent shockwaves across Europe, with progressive leaders celebrating the defeat of a prominent populist figure.
Magyar's campaign focused on tackling corruption and restoring democratic norms, a message that resonated with voters exhausted by years of political polarization.
While Orbán has suggested he will not resign from his party's leadership, his defeat is seen as a major blow to the global MAGA movement.
The incoming administration faces an immediate challenge in unlocking billions of euros in EU funding that were frozen during the previous government's tenure.
