Péter Magyar unseats Viktor Orbán
In a historic electoral upset, former government insider Péter Magyar has defeated Viktor Orbán, bringing an end to the longest-serving premiership in the European Union.
Magyar’s Tisza party secured a projected supermajority, fueled by a record turnout of young voters and public anger over institutional corruption.
The prime minister-elect has signaled a 'new era' for Hungary, promising to repair strained relations with Brussels and cooperate on continental defense and energy policies.
Orbán’s defeat is also being viewed as a setback for the global far-right movement and its allies in the United States.
