Victor Orbán Concedes Defeat in Hungary Election |
Orbán had been the longest-serving leader in the European Union, having led the nation for over 16 years. Financial Times: Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán conceded defeat in parliamentary elections on Sunday night after voters handed the opposition Tisza party a landslide victory. With 99 per cent of the votes counted, the Tisza (Respect and Freedom) party led by Péter Magyar was projected to win 138 out of 199 seats in parliament, a two-thirds majority that would enable it to change the constitution. Orbán’s Fidesz party was projected to win just 55 seats, down from 133 in 2022…. In a concession speech to party supporters, Orbán, who is the EU’s longest-serving premier, said “whatever happens we will serve our country and the Hungarian nation from opposition as well” (Financial Times). On the victor: Péter Magyar, a former Orbán loyalist who campaigned against corruption and on everyday issues like health care and public transport, has pledged to rebuild Hungary’s relationships with the European Union and NATO — ties that frayed under Orbán. European leaders quickly congratulated Magyar. His victory was expected to transform political dynamics within the EU, where Orbán had upended the bloc by frequently vetoing key decisions, prompting concerns he sought to break it up from the inside (AP). |

O MGOD. HOW COULD THEY DO THIS? HE is a MHGA, all the way. NO globalist ROT in his spirit, soul or body. Not bought and sold. No 5 minute cities bs. And you are SO clear-sighted on Eastern Europe, OMGOD. He WAS AN ANCHOR.
Seed Plant Harvest. Maybe they have to learn the h.a.r.d. way.
You know what is really ironic? The new guys name is Magyar....which in Hungarian means Hungarian! Hungary in Hungarian is Magyarország ....ország trenslation is country.
I wonder how many hard lessons do the Hungarian people need before they see reality. They sold out to the EU not having an idea what that means!
Do they or does Hungary NOT have mulitiple news sources, or all they all some version of CNN. HOW COULD THEY NOT KNOW????
Hungarians have no idea what they just did to their country. Magyar will be their Obama, not because Magyar is a leftist, but because he is soft and the EU will do with him as they please. They better brace themselves, the people think the jobs will start pouring in, energy prices will drop to affordable levels, that they will be treated as an equal partner in the EU.....not as a loathed step child. Western Europe gained another puppet, America lost a great ally, Eastern Europe just lost their anchor. As someone born and raised there I am heartbroken for the country, but the people deserve what they vote for! This one Hungary cannot blame on an invading army, they did this all to themselves.
