Viktor Orbán has conceded in a speech to supporters, telling them: “The result of the election is clear and painful.”
I assume by “painful” he means “delightful”.

Congratulations to Hungary and also to Ukraine.
The REALLY good thing is that Magyar get super majority, so he can undo the undemocratic things Orban did in his attempt to stay in power.
Hopefully democratic principles will be restored in Hungary now. And Hungary can participate constructively in EU again, and receive the full benefits of being an EU member.
unlikely, he has many of the same policies and as mentioned is centre right, he’s not as obnoxious as Orban but only just. He was an Orban protégé for a time.
It’s not like Hungary went centre left or something.
If he claims to be pro Europe it follows that he will follow EU regulation. And that means he must reverse a lot of shit Orban did that undermines democracy.
But we will see what happens.
Wait and see. He’s centre-right and used to be in the same party.
That is normalization of the extreme right; people feel like a centre-right candidate is leftist. Social engineering at its best. Well at least he is pro EU so in your face Putin.
He was running on wealth taxes and progressive income taxes and much stronger welfare policies though. As well as term limits.
Exactly this! Just hope he is willing to talk with zelenskjy and won’t be blocking EU aid in terms of agreenment of energy protection for his citizens ofc. I mean, EU also have some interest in keeping hungarys wheels spinning, since they are going to produce batteries and such.
Seems like he would be willing to work with EU on this, he supports independency from Russia in terms of energy and is pro EU. Ofcourse it wouldn’t be the first time a center candidate goes in the opposite direction to their campaign promises if he doesn’t (or actually any candidate for that matter).
