"With 98.94% of votes counted, Peter Magyar's Tisza party is projected to get 138 seats in the new parliament, with just 55 for Viktor Orban's Fidesz and six for the far-right Mi Hazank party."
"These numbers mean that the new government will have the critical two-thirds majority required to comprehensively overhaul the country's laws, creating a real chance to genuinely break with the Orban era."
"Because if [they have] the constitutional super-majority, this is when he can do a change of regime, and not only a change of government."
"Dismantling the Orban regime is really possible, meaning that both the economic and the political capture of the [Orban] regime could be addressed with the two-thirds majority."
The Tisza party, led by Peter Magyar, is projected to secure 138 seats in the Hungarian parliament, significantly outpacing Viktor Orban's Fidesz party, which is expected to gain only 55 seats. This two-thirds majority allows the Tisza party to implement comprehensive legal reforms and potentially dismantle the Orban regime. The new government can address both the economic and political issues stemming from Orban's rule. A press conference from Magyar is anticipated, along with findings from international observers monitoring the election.
