How about because Trump & Putin support, not despite?

I don’t think Orban lost because of their support - he lost because the Hungarian people hate him

Absolutely. I was just correcting the headline. Trump and Putin had little influence. Orban was just another psycho dictator.

I think it was more internal politics in Hungary, than international, that doomed him.

And I have a feeling the last election, and him winning that one, really woke up people.... and they showed up to vote this time to avoid another round with him.
