Viktor Orbán Defeated in Hungary

The political landscape of Central Europe has been transformed by the ouster of Viktor Orbán, a key figure for the global far-right.

Péter Magyar's Tisza party achieved a decisive win by promising to restore democratic standards and unblock frozen European Union funds.

The defeat has sent shockwaves through the MAGA movement, which had frequently cited Orbán's Hungary as a model for conservative governance.

Magyar has pledged to rebuild relations with Brussels while maintaining a pragmatic approach to trade with China.
