What Happened

Viktor Orbán's Fidesz party lost Hungarian parliamentary elections after sixteen years, with opposition Tisza party winning one hundred thirty-six of one hundred ninety-nine seats. Experts view the defeat as a setback for the illiberal democracy model gaining ground across Europe. Liberal democracy emphasizes rule of law, universal suffrage, and civil rights protection through constitutional limits on rulers.
