Orban's defeat in Hungary reverberates across Central Europe
""Facing such a strong opponent as Viktor Orban was never easy, yet he earned the trust of the majority of Hungarians and carries great hopes and expectations," Babis wrote on X. "He must not disappoint.""
"Fico said that Slovakia's priorities remained unchanged. These include reviving the Visegrad Group, protecting shared energy interests and restoring Russian oil supplies to Slovakia and Hungary via the Druzhba pipeline."
Peter Magyar's victory in the Hungarian parliamentary election on April 12 reflects widespread discontent with corruption and economic issues. It also represents a clear rejection of Viktor Orban's illiberal democracy and a warning against closer ties with Moscow. Allies like Robert Fico and Andrej Babis congratulated Magyar but did so cautiously. Fico emphasized respect for the voters' decision and expressed readiness for cooperation, while maintaining Slovakia's priorities, including reviving the Visegrad Group and restoring Russian oil supplies through the Druzhba pipeline.
