Brilliant news for Hungary, Europe and Ukraine.
Now let’s watch the theatrics of Vance crying about interference.
I must admit, even though he was down in the polls, I still expected him to win somehow. It gives me a little glimmer of hope that the world may not become an authoritarian hellscape.
I didn’t really expect him to lose. But I had serious doubts if he would get out of the government after it.
But then, I don’t know the details.
Holy shit, fantastic result! Orban deserved that lol
It was a good day
It surely feels good to see a fascist lose. That’s enough for me these days.
I can’t even imagine the elation Hungarians must be feeling right now!
It was insane, we partied until 3 am on the streets of Budapest. People were hanging from poles, shooting fireworks and dancing
Great pic. How’s the hangover? :D
Someone please tell me the opposition winner is legit and not another Russian stooge
Hard to tell right now. He used to be one of Orban’s buddies up until a few years ago. He’s saying the right things right now - less corruption, more services for Hungarians, closer ties to the EU and NATO.
But we’ll see. From what I understand, Orban was also seen as a progressive about 20 years ago. But then Putin and greed got their hooks into him. Hopefully the new guy is legit.
If he is legit, I wonder his this will shift the dynamic in the EU. Without Hungary vetoing everything Putin doesn’t like, does this clear the path more for Ukraine joining the EU and/or NATO? I know there are a lot of other factors in okay. But the people of Hungary might have just helped others and not just themselves.
That will truly be a major test. Man, I’m hoping for a legitimate win for once. This could be the biggest shift since Carney’s victory in Canada. I’ve also sadly seen how gullible people can believe lies like, “America First” and “No New Wars,” and take a pathological liar at their word. Leaving aside the longer-term games being played by billionaires.
Here’s hoping for the best. I’m just honestly a bit shocked that he relinquished power this easily.
C’mon, guy is a lot of things but not a friend to Russia
He’s legit, no worries on that front. Implementing policies and promises - let’s see, but I’m optimistic
Drunk with power he lost his sense in the end. Next Trump, Netanyahu, Putin and so on.
I think 2 of those 3 will be dead before ever handing over power
Big congratulations to the people of Hungary. Hopefully this is the start of a much better chapter in their country’s history.
Thank you! Feels good to be a Hungarian again after decades of shame
He’s probably packing his suitcases for an “extended stay” in Russia. And some of them will be packed with money and gold…
Maybe he’ll go to Albania with Eric Adams.
What the fuck is that parasite doing in Albania? lol
Literally can’t believe it. Maybe there’s hope yet.
Come on. Am I dreaming?
Trump with another impressive foreign election result.
What’s the catch? Just watched John Oliver and got the impression this was impossible
Orban put so many of his cronies everywhere, it will take years if not decades to restore the country
They will readjust like the spineless crooks they are.
Hopefully not. New party has 2/3rds majority, meaning they will clean house - new AG, new supreme court, election laws, etc. They can do what they want, which is a risk, but there is no other way to defeat Orban’s state capture
Wish this was a “hooray” moment for Hungary or the region.
