With Viktor Orbán’s defeat, a liberal right victory in Hungary

What Happened

Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orbán lost elections after 16 years in power. His Fidesz party won only 55 of 199 parliamentary seats. Orbán, known for weakening democratic institutions and anti-immigration rhetoric, was defeated by liberal-right candidate Péter Magyar. Magyar, a former Fidesz member, campaigned on anti-corruption and institutional independence. He supports EU ties and Ukraine aid, contrasting sharply with Orbán's approaches.
