Big congratulations to the people of Hungary. Hopefully this is the start of a much better chapter in their country’s history.
Let’s hope, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.
Orbán was already burnt, maybe they just put a new puppet (they = a country that produces vodka).
Let’s see if he actually restores democracy.

Fecking meddling Finns!
Thank you! Feels good to be a Hungarian again after decades of shame
Holy shit, fantastic result! Orban deserved that lol
Wow. now that’s an honest crook
Trump with another impressive foreign election result.
Wish this was a “hooray” moment for Hungary or the region.
Come on. Am I dreaming?
April First! 🖕🖕
It surely feels good to see a fascist lose. That’s enough for me these days.

Please Vance, vouch for Erdogan next time
Someone please tell me the opposition winner is legit and not another Russian stooge
Hard to tell right now. He used to be one of Orban’s buddies up until a few years ago. He’s saying the right things right now - less corruption, more services for Hungarians, closer ties to the EU and NATO.
But we’ll see. From what I understand, Orban was also seen as a progressive about 20 years ago. But then Putin and greed got their hooks into him. Hopefully the new guy is legit.
If he is legit, I wonder his this will shift the dynamic in the EU. Without Hungary vetoing everything Putin doesn’t like, does this clear the path more for Ukraine joining the EU and/or NATO? I know there are a lot of other factors in okay. But the people of Hungary might have just helped others and not just themselves.
C’mon, guy is a lot of things but not a friend to Russia
Let’s hope he doesn’t suffer from sudden and acute defenestration.
That will truly be a major test. Man, I’m hoping for a legitimate win for once. This could be the biggest shift since Carney’s victory in Canada. I’ve also sadly seen how gullible people can believe lies like, “America First” and “No New Wars,” and take a pathological liar at their word. Leaving aside the longer-term games being played by billionaires.
Here’s hoping for the best. I’m just honestly a bit shocked that he relinquished power this easily.
There’s another EU member with a russian stooge in power, isn’t there? I could be wrong but I think it was Slovakia that recently elected one.
Still great news that Orban is out.
I was gonna say Belarus but they’re not in the EU.
Fuck Lukashenko too though
He’s legit, no worries on that front. Implementing policies and promises - let’s see, but I’m optimistic
He’s against support for Ukraine. So, outlook not so good. On paper, he’s an improvement over Orbán but he’s still at least center-right. We won’t know until he starts implementing policies.
Good job, friends. Now, a republic once again… if you can keep it.
Love to see it, folks.
JFC, things have gotten so bad that we are cheering for some Hungarian conservative winning an election.
He’s probably packing his suitcases for an “extended stay” in Russia. And some of them will be packed with money and gold…
in Russia.
or the US, he has options.
Maybe he’ll go to Albania with Eric Adams.
Most important: it’s even a 2/3 majority. Without that, Orban could have still blocked most of the changes. Now, he cannot.
looked set to win 94 of Hungary’s 106 voting districts.
Hell yeah.
