Péter Magyar topples Viktor Orbán

Péter Magyar topples Viktor Orbán

In a historic political earthquake, Péter Magyar has successfully mobilized Hungarian voters to oust the long-serving nationalist Viktor Orbán.

The Tisza party's victory is seen as a significant blow to the global far-right movement and Orbán's allies in Russia and the United States.

Magyar has pledged to restore the rule of law, unlock frozen EU funds, and rebuild Hungary's relationships with NATO. Orbán conceded defeat on Sunday evening, marking the first time his Fidesz party has lost an election in two decades.
