In what appears to be a historic turnout, voters in Hungary ousted Viktor Orban!
This is great news for NATO and bad news for Trump and Putin, who lauded Orban as the future of Europe. MAGA loved Orban, who claimed to have created an “illiberal democracy.”
Orban was a European version of Trump, censoring or closing down anyone who disagreed with him. He harmed freedom of the press, universities, and the judiciary. He stridently opposed LGBT rights.
The victory of Peter Magyar, who seems to have won more than 2/3 of the seats in Parliament, means a new day for Hungary, NATO, and the European Union.

I read a report that suggested that the EU will now allow Hungarian assets held due to Orban policies to go to Hungary

The historic part of this is the concession on the part of Orban. Do modern authoritarian rulers actually have to produce for the people they wish to dominate? Or is there another way to process what happened today? Is Hungary free of this Orban? Or will he return in some way? And what does Putin think?
