Hungary had a historic day today because voters ended Viktor Orbán’s 16-year rule, with Péter Magyar and his pro-EU Tisza party defeating Orbán’s Fidesz government in a high-turnout election. This is being seen as historic because it breaks one of Europe’s longest-running nationalist governments and could mark a major shift in Hungary’s direction, including a move back toward closer alignment with the European Union and away from years of democratic backsliding.
