Peter Magyar Ousts Viktor Orbán

Hungarian voters turned out in record numbers to deliver a crushing defeat to Viktor Orbán's Fidesz party.

Peter Magyar, a former government insider, successfully mobilized a broad popular movement that united liberal, left-wing, and green voters.

The result has been hailed by European Union leaders as a victory for democracy and a blow to right-wing populism.

Magyar has pledged to dismantle corruption and unlock billions in frozen EU funding by restoring the rule of law.
