Orban has conceded. Magyar is on course for the 2/3rds majority needed to change the constitution and roll back the corruption that has plagued the country.
It’s a big deal for the EU and a bitter pill for Trump, Vance and Putin as Hungary will now distance itself from Russia and become an active EU member, rather than blocking initiatives.
It’s also a blow to populists everywhere. Including in the UK. With the spotlight about to reveal the effects of cronyism, and possible prosecutions, the folly of electing populists is going to be exposed to the public gaze.
This is great news. The pendulum has begun to swing. In the UK it should at least slow it somewhat.
