""Fellow Hungarians, countrymen: We have done it. Together we have replaced the Orbán system. Together we have liberated Hungary.""
""Hungarians are stubborn, and we don't give up on each other.""
"Orbán became an exemplar of a rare political breed: an autocrat ousted in an election."
"Voters rejected Orbán's party, Fidesz, in favor of Magyar's new faction, Tisza, setting a new national record for turnout."
Hungarians celebrated the ousting of Viktor Orbán after 16 years in power, with high voter turnout favoring Péter Magyar's opposition party, Tisza. Magyar, a former Orbán loyalist, declared victory, emphasizing the collective effort to replace the Orbán system. This election marked a historic moment as Orbán, known for his autocratic rule, was removed through democratic means. The new government aims to dismantle the illiberal state established under Orbán, which had suppressed civil society and manipulated media for control.
