Péter Magyar topples Viktor Orbán

In a historic electoral earthquake, Péter Magyar and his centre-right Tisza party have defeated Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, securing a constitutional supermajority in the Hungarian parliament.

Orbán, a long-serving nationalist and key ally of both Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, conceded defeat after a record 80% voter turnout signaled a desire for deep systemic change.

Magyar has already pledged to launch a sweeping anti-corruption drive, restore judicial independence, and unblock billions in stalled EU funding.

The victory has been hailed by E.U. leaders in Brussels as a triumph for fundamental freedoms and a major setback for right-wing populism across the continent.
