Hungary swings toward Europe as opposition lands sweeping parliamentary majority
TL;DR Summary
In a shock result, voters ousted long-time prime minister Viktor Orban and handed Peter Magyar's pro-European Tisza party a two-thirds majority in the 199-seat parliament, paving a path to restoring Hungary's ties with the EU and NATO after Orban's lengthy rule; Orban conceded, turnout was near 80%, and the win is likely to reshape Hungary's role in Europe and influence global debates over nationalist populism.
