The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world. Most of all, it’s a testament to the resilience and determination of the Hungarian people – and a reminder to all of us to keep striving for fairness, equality and the rule of law.
Péter Magyar is set to become the next Prime Minister of Hungary.
He defeats incumbent Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who has close political ties with Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump.
