Hungary: What will become of Orban and his system?
Briefly

Hungary: What will become of Orban and his system?
"The homeland cannot be in the opposition! Only I and my Fidesz party can truly represent the interests of the Hungarian nation; I am its sole legitimate representative."
"The experience of 2002 prompted Orban to use his two-thirds majority to establish the System of National Cooperation, preventing a reoccurrence of his defeat."
"Orban's defeat was so significant that he initially seemed almost speechless. He disappeared from public life for a few days, filled with pain and emptiness."
"Orban admitted regret over the incomplete expansion of the Paks nuclear power plant, undertaken with Russian assistance, during his only in-depth interview post-election."
Viktor Orban experienced a personal crisis after being voted out in 2002, believing only he could represent Hungary. This led to the establishment of the System of National Cooperation in 2010, which secured his power for 16 years. His recent defeat in the election was unexpected, leaving him speechless and in a state of pain. Orban expressed regret over certain government decisions and raised questions about his political future and the fate of his established system.
