Péter Magyar wins in Hungary

Magyar's victory was driven by strong support from young voters, with polls showing 65% of those under 30 backed the pro-European candidate.

The incoming leader has promised to suspend state media broadcasts and pass new laws to ensure press freedom.

While the victory marks the end of illiberalism in Hungary, European leaders remain cautious about the challenges of rebuilding the rule of law.

The Kremlin has distanced itself from Orbán following the defeat, claiming President Putin was 'never friends' with the ousted leader.
