The Hungarian prime minister concedes to Péter Magyar, who is set to win a supermajority in the 199-seat parliament.
How long will it take before he elopes to Moscow to evade corruption charges? And how much has he stolen to finance a lavish lifestyle there?
If Hungarians will go the Polish way - never. But I wish them to success in defeating those pieces of shit for good.
One fascist less. Congratulations to Hungary!
Fantastic, well done!!! 🎉🎉
Most important: it’s even a 2/3 majority. Without that, Orban could have still blocked most of the changes. Now, he cannot.
I’m glad we can now poor money into the black hole of corruption that is ukraine unhindered.
Not that it already caused an awful crisis here in the EU.

The crisis for Europe is that Europe is under attack, you dumb fucking moron.
Really, could’ve fooled me. Pretty quiet here.
Are the Russians coming again? LOL
All I see is EU scumbag vassal politicians taking my money that ends up in corrupt scumbags pockets while their ‘refugees’ come leeching here of our state and now and then go back on holiday, like now for easter.
Such terrible war zone.
So go fuck yourself scumbag.
Go get yourself killed fighting for the nazis on the eastern front like your granddaddy probably did.Jesus, this person has issues

Russia is in Europe.

Sure, but not in the progressive, sane or civilized part of Europe.
That part is shrinking by the day, or haven’t you noticed the shift in a lot of governments recently?
Thanks J.D. 😄
I know little enough about the guy, but if he was approved by Donnie I presume he was horrible.
Has Magyar even thanked Vance?
He’s propped up by Peter Thiel which should make people worry, if he was a tiny bit effective…maybe he is and there a big grand scheme at work but I don’t think Maga will rally behind him.
Course I don’t the ins and outs of their opinions beyond racist good and being accepting is bad. I hope the gas prices sink them, as horrible as a tiny thing his stance on things. I’m sure Thiel can afford a new lackey and has some ready to bring up. Hell he probably planned for that, Vance is so bland that he’s probably only there to make a case but not accomplish much.
Well that’s quite the Brodown now isn’t it? This sauce just got a little thicker. Mmmm Mmmm Mmmmm ( Samuel L. Jackson inner voice) C’mon, let us have some more please. Can’t really make this sort of stuff up without a pretty damn good barometer & heading on it all.
How high are you right now
About the same as you. And exactly where I am.
TBH higher than a step stool on a giraffes back with a Bull Moose on stand by in case the scenario goes sideways.
He was also endorsed by Putin and Netanyahu so there isn’t any possible doubt he’s horrible
Yeah, that’s like the holy trinity of evil endorsement.
Bet he uses Windows, too.
Windows fucking 11. And you know what, I hear he wants copilot in everything. Start menu, search, text editing, etc.
He wants the OS to just be one fucking dialog box where you have to coax the OS into doing anything.
Fucking pervert.
Americans helping solidify Europe and move them away from depending on U.S. and Russia. I love to see it
Don’t forget open source adoption
He visits, the old pope dies. He visits, your entire political party is marginalized. Frankly if I were a world leader I’d want to stay as far the hell away from JD Vance as possible.
Actually, as just a regular Joe I’d * also * like to stay as far the hell away from JD Vance as possible.
I like my couch the same way I like my dinner: unfucked.
If he buys me a new one he can have it
I’m very happy with my sofa, I’m not sure a replacement would be as good, so no.
He can’t buy you a new one because he’s been banned from every furniture store in the world, and he knows damn well why.
He icky.
I was very unsure that Orban hadn’t rigged the election, and Hungary would become like Belarus.
I am so relieved to see that democracy worked in Hungary, despite Orban controlling most of the media.He controls the media in Hungary, but foreign media showed Trump, Putin and Netanyahu supporting him and suddenly everybody realised he sucks and shouldn’t be trusted.
I bet they were rigged, just not enough.
He sent meat and wine packages to people to buy their votes, control the media and more. Sure is a big relief 😮💨
Yes I saw the unpacking of such a box. Looked pretty nice actually. But you’d have to be pretty stupid to fall for it. So IDK if it had any effect.
If you’re a poor farmer not caring for politics… Maybe it’d swing a couple of them from one side to another. Or its like the pizza party at work 😅
His last name is Magyar?
His last name is basically “Hungarian” lol
And it isn’t even a crazily rare surname! We also have plenty of these:
-
Tóth, which used to mean Slavic, Slovakian or Slovenian (today: ‘tót’)
-
Horváth, which means Croatian (today: ‘horvát’);
-
Németh, which means German (today: ‘német’)
-
Szerb, which means Serbian; Rác, which used to mean Serbian
-
Bolgár, which means Bulgarian
-
Lengyel, which means Polish
There might be more, but these 6 came from the top of my head.
UPDATE:
-
Török, which means Turkish
-
Cseh, which means Czech
-
Like comedienne Dawn French. The name doesn’t necessarily mandate where they live.
Exactly. I’m Australian, even though my name is Billy Congo Free State.
It’d be like if Johnny America was running for US president
The most famous porn star in the Netherlands is called Kim Holland. Might not be her real name, but her fame shows a name can really help you get people to like you.
Charles de Gaulle ahh name
Imagine François de Gaulle
There is Anatole De France.I like his well known quote.
“The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread.”
I have to nitpick here. De Gaulle seems to come from flamish “De Walle” meaning “The Walls”, which seems to have been mutated to " De Gaulle".
So, he is a colossal titan in geopolitics, then.
Hi, I’m Dave American, and I’m running for President.
you have my vote, and I am Jason Australian
Is it fine if I just call you Dave?
That would be enough for some voters
I’d at least want to hear his policies regarding cheeseburgers first.
Hi, I’m David - the cheeseburger - American, and I’m here to smash patties!
We’re going to put a cheeseburger in every tummy, and deport all the vegetarians
Well, I don’t agree with everything he says, but I do love a cheeseburger.
He said he’s going to genocide my friends and neighbors but he also said he’d lower the price of cheeseburgers, so…
We could’ve had a president McGovern though
The whole “Boaty McBoatface” thing is just a way of conditioning us for the next time someone named McGovern wants to run for leadership.
I’m gonna be the money president.
Pro-Russian right wing replaced by Pro-Palestine-Genocide EU right wing… Europe fucking sucks.
You’re the type of person who would seethe if a cure for cancer was found because they didn’t also find a cure for rabies
Cure of cancer = imperialist genocidal EU, gotcha
Orbán was pro Palestine genocide. https://novaramedia.com/2026/04/13/israel-loses-key-european-ally-as-viktor-orban-defeated-in-hungary/
Agreed, but we’ve only gone from Guatepeor to Guatemala as we’d say in Spanish
https://www.ynetnews.com/article/hjef3yqnbx
Tisza will head in the right direction. The influence of Israel is really strong in Hungary, especially in Budapest and the Jewish Ghetto district. Will need some time to overcome it.
how can you tell magyar personally is against palestine?
Not campaigning against genocide (he’s taken no position publicly) implies siding with the ones committing genocide
The world does not in fact revolve around Palestine
Extremely evil position to stand on
No, you’re just being brain dead. Most of the world has much bigger problems to deal with that are much closer to home than some conflict/war/genocide happening far away from them.
Hungary, for example, has just come out of a 16 year period where they were ruled by Russian backed fascists who uprooted a lot of the country’s institutions and destroyed their relationships with their neighbors. Not only that, but they also border Ukraine which is facing one of the biggest and most horrific wars of this century. Russia has already said that they’re next on the chopping block and has added them to their infamous list of unfriendly countries. They already have their hands full, why would any politician running to be the head of state there spend any time on Palestine or Sudan or Myanmar or whatever other country that’s facing grim times over their own country and people? It doesn’t make sense, and so they don’t. That’s perfectly reasonable.
conflict/war
Oh, I wasn’t aware I was engaging with a Zionazi. Get banned.
I am sorry progress doesn’t come wrapped in the pretty bow you want. I guess we should just not have any progress at all.
Hardly any progress can be spoken of when the vast majority of Europe is plunging to the far right. Look at Italy, look at polls in Germany and Spain.
But this thread is about the election/progress in Hungary, specifically.
This post has been on the top of my home feed all day and it brought a smile to my face every time I opened Lemmy lol
he even conceded:
In a surprisingly early and gracious concession speech in Budapest, Mr. Orban congratulated the opposition saying, “The responsibility and opportunity to govern were not given to us.” But, he also made a vow: “We are not giving up. Never, never, never.”
This is the part that makes me suspicious about the whole thing. No way would a tick like Orban just admit defeat. They would at least insinuate that the election was not quite right.

Trump could never
This does give me a small sliver of hope.
After Trumps election it is good to see, that democracy still can do good for the people
Now do Putin
Wow, JD Vance did something good!
/s While I am in the US, I recognize he was not the reason of Orbán’s loss. Not that US-centered. Just making a dumb joke.
I hope this is a true turning point, but Magyar is still fairly conservative himself, so I won’t be too optimistic.
Indeed, I doubt Vance haf a big impact, but the impact he had was certainly harming Orban, which is hilarious.
Anything is better then having that russian puppet being able to veto in the EU. Apparently Magyar is more EU aligned, but we will see how much of that is true.
