Viktor Orbán's Era Is Over: Hungarians Celebrate as Longtime Far-Right Leader Suffers Landslide Loss
Source: Democracy Now! · Bias: Far Left
Summary
Official election results in Hungary show Péter Magyar and his opposition Tisza party won Sunday’s parliamentary election in a landslide, with more than the two-thirds majority needed to amend Hungary’s constitution. Hungary’s far-right Viktor Orbán has been prime minister of the country since 2010, making him the European Union’s longest-serving leader. His campaign was supported by Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Trump administration. Tens of thousands gathered in Budapest on Sunday to celebrate the victory over Orbán. “Everybody was partying on the streets. Strangers were hugging each other. Music, drinks, cars honking. So, basically, it was like a street carnival for the entire night,” says Hungarian journalist and analyst Szilárd Pap, who also explains the rise of Péter Magyar and Hungary’s new opposition party.
