Péter Magyar Ousts Viktor Orbán

The defeat of the nationalist Fidesz party marks a seismic shift in European politics and a major blow to the international far-right movement.

Magyar, leading the upstart Tisza party, secured a decisive mandate from voters who rejected Orbán's pro-Russian stance and economic mismanagement.

The Kremlin has expressed a cautious willingness for 'pragmatic dialogue' with the incoming government, while EU leaders have welcomed the prospect of a more cooperative Hungary.

Magyar faces the daunting task of dismantling the entrenched oligarchic system established during Orbán's long tenure.
