Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s Fidesz Party lost the parliamentary election in Hungary this weekend, setting up former Orban ally Peter Magyar of the Tisza Party as the incoming Prime Minister. The Liberty Daily reports:
In a stunning collapse that ends 16 years of uninterrupted rule, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has conceded defeat in Sunday’s parliamentary elections, according to statements from opposition leader Péter Magyar.
With early results showing the Tisza Party on track for 128 seats in the 199-seat National Assembly and Fidesz collapsing to just 62 seats (based on more than 21% of votes counted), Orbán’s long-dominant alliance has suffered a decisive repudiation. Four years after securing a supermajority of 135 seats, Fidesz is projected to fall well short of even a simple majority.
Orban has been a constant thorn in the side of EU globalists and their allies abroad. The Hungarian prevented numerous attempts by EU bureaucrats to broaden their power and influence over the European people. Now the globalists are celebrating his defeat.
The end of Viktor Orbán’s autocratic regime is a victory not just for Hungary, but for people who value democracy around the world.
Congratulations to Tisza, to incoming leader Péter Magyar, and to Hungarians everywhere.
