Orbán officially recognizes ‘painful’ defeat in Hungarian elections






The Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orbán, admitted this Sunday, the 12th, that his party, Fidesz, was defeated in the parliamentary elections. He said the result is “painful.”

This ends the 16-year period in power of a powerful figure in the global far-right movement.

An ally of the presidents of the United States, Donald Trump, and Russia, Vladimir Putin, Orbán was opposed to a series of European Union policies.

“I congratulated the victorious party,” Orbán told supporters in Budapest. “We will serve the Hungarian nation and our homeland also from the opposition.”
