Two boys kissing in front of the Hungarian parliament in Budapest while celebrations for the regime change from illiberal, corrupt, Russian-tied Orban to moderate, pro-Europe, anti-corruption Magyar go on through the streets of Hungary
Due ragazzi che si baciano per le strade di Budapest durante i festeggiamenti per la vittoria di Magyar e la caduta di Orbán.
Per me, la foto più bella di queste ore. 🌈

@aldrin_smith1 thats not true based on the roman statue 127 after a country notifies the icc that they want to leave there is 1 year time before it is official under that 1 year time frame the hovernment can withdraw the notice
@aldrin_smith1 we dont need to rejoin cause our leave will only becoem official in august if i remember right if Magyar undones it before it will be like we never wanted to leave
Péter Magyar victory speech:
"We want to make a country where no one is persecuted because they think differently or because someone loves in a different way to others."
He didn't campaign as a liberal. But this is a huge change of direction from Orbán’s anti-LGBTQ+ crusade.
🇭🇺 Hungary delivers a political earthquake, with TISZA sweeping to a historic victory and ending Orbán’s 16-year rule.
🔵 TISZA (EPP)
Péter Magyar’s party wins big with 54% of the vote, translating into over 2/3rds of seats, providing TISZA a constitutional majority that allows constitutional reforms.
🟠 FIDESZ (PfE)
Viktor Orbán’s party falls to 38%, securing just 27% of seats, losing its majority for the first time since 2010.
📊 Why the difference in % vote and % seats?
Hungary uses a mixed electoral system, combining both Single-member constituencies (FPTP) and national party lists (proportional representation)
This combination can amplify large victories, which in this election helped TISZA convert its vote share into a supermajority.
🔄 End of an era
Orbán concedes defeat after 16 years in power, marking one of the most significant political shifts in Europe in recent years.
🌍 What’s at stake
The result could reshape Hungary’s role in the EU, shifting away from years of conflict with Brussels toward a more pro-European direction.
