Viktor Orbán Ousted in Hungary

Viktor Orbán’s long-standing dominance of Hungarian politics has come to an abrupt end following a landslide victory by opposition leader Péter Magyar.

The prime minister-elect, a former party insider, successfully mobilized voters by focusing on government corruption and the need for democratic renewal.

Magyar's win is expected to have significant implications for the European Union, potentially ending years of obstructionist policies regarding aid to Ukraine.

While Orbán quickly conceded the 'painful but unambiguous' result, the transition marks a major setback for the international far-right movement that had long viewed him as a model leader.
