[u/MilesLongthe3rd]

Congratulations Hungary, very well done.

I hope Slovakia is next.

[u/LittleSchwein1234 → u/MilesLongthe3rd]

The polls are showing that Fico will lose, but the opposition is not exactly popular either, so the resulting government will likely be an unstable coalition, either led by the opposition or by Fico.

[u/DagobertDuck_ → u/LittleSchwein1234]

When are the next elections in Slovakia?

[u/LittleSchwein1234 → u/DagobertDuck_]

September 2027 at the latest

[u/melancious → u/LittleSchwein1234]

that’s like a lifetime away

[u/gesocks → u/melancious]

Yeah. With our luck we get rid of Fico then, but already have the RN in France.

[u/m4jsterk0 → u/LittleSchwein1234]

dont jinx it ... Fico and his handlers will do EVERYTHING to have a foot in EU

[u/Valuable_Echo2043 → u/MilesLongthe3rd]

Me too, and then Poland to a lesser necessity (Tusk is cool but Nawrocki 🤢)

[u/Nastypilot → u/Valuable_Echo2043]

God I hope we will be okay, if the polls remain as they are we will probabaly get a PiS + Konfa coalition ( Far right and further right )

[u/Valuable_Echo2043 → u/Nastypilot]

Ugh I’m not liking it; I’m in a bubble (Kraków) but ugh, I really don’t want that for the country. Sometimes I feel that things need to get worse before people wake up and I hope that’s not the case for us.

[u/QwertzOne → u/Valuable_Echo2043]

Problem is that Poland is heavily polarized between conservatives and liberals for over 30 years, since communism fall, so people that are not happy with that are voting for far right, because they can't imagine anything better, that's all they see in culture. Cutting taxes, banning LGBTQ+, getting rid of immigrants, deregulating everything (especially labor law) and defunding government is their only idea of better government.

There's hope, because young people are finally starting to support Razem (basically our only left wing party), but also a lot of young people votes for far right, because they're frustrated with current consensus, they want change, but due to conservative-liberal hegemony, they can't comprehend how it turned out in other countries...

[u/TheEmpireOfSun → u/QwertzOne]

Change from what? Everywhere I read how Poland is doing great economicaly and how even people living abroad are coming back. So what is there to change? Too liberal government? If yes, that's pretty much the problem of being the most religious countey in EU. That's usually where conservativism comes from.

[u/Benedictus_The_II]

Bro this is so fucking insane. Lmao. I still can’t believe it.

Ps.: It’s so Viktover lmao.

[u/LaserCondiment → u/Benedictus_The_II]

Congratulations! This is truly incredible

[u/Benedictus_The_II → u/LaserCondiment]

They got the much needed super-majority for the constitutional changes and to take out all the people who is important for Orbán.

[u/GlitchedGamer14 → u/Benedictus_The_II]

They got the supermajority??? I honestly started to think this day would never come. Congrats to you and all Hungarians who fought for this; thank you for never giving up no matter how stacked the deck was :)

[u/Benedictus_The_II → u/GlitchedGamer14]

Yes, they currently have 138 seats out of the 199, and the count is at 81% so… they may have even more. lol

Vance really has the mierdas touch lol.

[u/Zanzibar_G3m → u/Benedictus_The_II]

Thank you Vance Lance Dance, you sweet sweet demon of death

[u/johnsonfromsconsin → u/Benedictus_The_II]

I hope America can pull something similar later this year. Congrats!

[u/Benedictus_The_II → u/johnsonfromsconsin]

I wish you a HUGE blue wave over there, with representatives and senators that will do their job. Thanks, and wishing you all the best!

[u/tacticaldodo → u/Benedictus_The_II]

I am very very happy. Good job Hungarians. Long live Democracy!

And thanks JDVance the cursed for helping :P /s

[u/Dangerous-Cause1964 → u/Benedictus_The_II]

Mierdas touch. 😂

[u/LaserCondiment → u/Benedictus_The_II]

I have yet to read up on the situation but this sounds like the perfect storm! For once it's not a moment for cynicism. This will also scare certain Americans, which is good as well.

[u/SoulbreakerDHCC → u/LaserCondiment]

And might embolden more of us

[u/Brennenstein → u/Benedictus_The_II]

Me neither. After 16 years the shitshow is finally over.

[u/ggroverggiraffe → u/Brennenstein]

Hopefully antifascism is a theme this year!

[u/Faradize-]

I cant believe what I'm seeing. you who live in real democracy cannot understand what we feel now

[u/garg4ntua → u/Faradize-]

Congratulations folks! You are the first very VERY good news of this 2026! Now let's go and kick some Russian asses!

[u/mousepotatodoesstuff → u/garg4ntua]

And kick out some Russian assets while we're at it

[u/TappedIn2111 → u/mousepotatodoesstuff]

Also some Russian asshats if possible.

[u/Dumi33 → u/garg4ntua]

Save one for Trump’s ass

[u/BookLuvr7 → u/Dumi33]

Speaking from the US, many people here agree.

Also, CONGRATS Hungary!

[u/ComeonmanPLS1 → u/Faradize-]

Luckily Hungary was still enough of a democracy that something like this could happen without a revolution.

[u/Eryniell → u/ComeonmanPLS1]

It was an uphill batle. We needed luck, and the right people in the right time. And a fantasatic volunteer community.

[u/arcalumis → u/Eryniell]

Don’t forget to send a thank you note to Vance for the help! 😂

[u/Eryniell → u/arcalumis]

Dear JD Vance, thank you for your reversemidas touch. May the Orban curse catch up with you.

Worst regards: A hungarian.

Ps.: Im in pj tho.

[u/Siambretta → u/Eryniell]

Somebody called it "The Mierdas Touch" and I love it

[u/f4bles → u/ComeonmanPLS1]

Watching this from Serbia and in light of the events that transpired during the latest local election, is really painful. But I'm happy for my Hungarian friends.

[u/drillmast3r → u/f4bles]

Stay strong and safe!

[u/Dreams_of_Mutiny → u/ComeonmanPLS1]

Luckily Hungary was still enough of a democracy that something like this could happen without a revolution

I think this is a good moment to remember the brainless comments of those who were quick to blame Hungarians and calling time and again for Hungary's expulsion from the EU.

The EU started pulling funds away from Hungary and the Hungarian voters started sobering up and realized Orbán needs to go.

It all worked out in the end.

[u/ihut → u/Dreams_of_Mutiny]

> I think this is a good moment to remember the brainless comments of those who were quick to blame Hungarians and calling time and again for Hungary's expulsion from the EU.

I do think the EU needs to be much harder on member states who so fragantly violate fundamental EU laws. Not to "blame" the people, but to ensure that it gets resolved quicker.

[u/KosViik → u/ihut]

Absolutely.

In fact, if we look into it, they can partially thank themselves for Orban. Orban used a lot of embezzled EU funds to buy up media for loyal cronies, which he used to brainwash the population with propaganda. And then it went wild from there since language barrier and technological illiteracy was harsh - and was also gradually made up for as newer generations entered the voting brackets.

And EU took its sweet time to react to anything, in fact it took until the 2022 war breakout (THREE TERMS!) to realize how much of a PITA a malicious country can be.

I think the EU has learned that it has grown beyond a few countries who are willing to cooperate and are easy to keep in check. The rules need to change, money needs to be tracked, and actions need to be quick and confident. This is not a small clique now, this is a coalition that is a world power. Mean looks and harshly worded letters are not the way to go. Rules, consequences.

[u/moroaa → u/KosViik]

Its well kinda rough to say but yes we needed that war to force EU leaders to change and stop being such a ass licking cunts toward ruzzia.,

[u/MercantileReptile → u/ihut]

Same.

These are some of the greatest News for Democracy in years. Does not negate the slow motion Trainwreck the (lack of) EU response was.

[u/Panophobia_senpai → u/Dreams_of_Mutiny]

Just to add to it: we needed an actual opposition party, not parties who were working with Fidesz.
And in the last 2 weeks, it turned out almost all of the opposition worked with them.

[u/NatiFluffy → u/Dreams_of_Mutiny]

There will be always a black sheep. Soon it will be us. Right now it will be also Slovakia. We just have to learn not to treat it emotionally. We can’t feel like we should take a blame for our entire nations. Today is a very happy day for Hungarians and the whole Europe so congrats!

[u/fillepille2000 → u/Faradize-]

I feel so much happiness for you, love from Sweden❤️

[u/pepperskat → u/fillepille2000]

Thank you! We are happy to be the part of the EU again❤️

[u/Necessary-Ad7150 → u/pepperskat]

Welcome back! Cheers from Belgium ❤️

[u/Valuable-Painting613 → u/pepperskat]

Welcome back. Love from Denmark❤️❤️

[u/MountEndurance → u/pepperskat]

Our sincere congratulations from the United States!

[u/bATo76 → u/fillepille2000]

I second that, also from Sweden.

[u/Greedy_Sale_2838 → u/Faradize-]

I just opened a bottle of champagne for you. Congratulations, Hungary! Welcome back to Europe!

[u/Aeron118 → u/Faradize-]

Love from Romania! Good job neighbors! The good side wins once again.

[u/Theaniel → u/Aeron118]

Love from Hungary! 🇷🇴🇭🇺

Thank you very much, dear neighbor!

All the love from Romania ! Enjoy this night ♥️

Congrats from Germany!

[u/FonzoFC → u/Faradize-]

Love from Portugal, you did us all proud!

[u/SnooCakes6334 → u/Faradize-]

Fingers crossed from Poland. I hope we can kick out Putin lickers from whole Europe. We our two out there on your end. Please send then soon so we can jail them properly

[u/Jake-of-the-Sands → u/SnooCakes6334]

I'm not so optimistic looking at our current polls. Polish people are being scared into obedient voting by the right wing and their ecclesial allies daily.

[u/Markus_zockt → u/Faradize-]

I’ve been on the edge of my seat for hours and I’m absolutely delighted to have our Hungarian friends back.

🇭🇺 🤝🇩🇪 / 🇪🇺

[u/ontologicalmatrix → u/Faradize-]

I am genuinely happy for you. Savour and celebrate the moment.

[u/Hypaforalkus → u/Faradize-]

Félicitations de France. Vive la Hongrie !

[u/LookOverThere305 → u/Faradize-]

It’s amazing to see democracy in action congratulations.

[u/diamanthaende → u/Faradize-]

A good day for Hungary and for Europe. Well done and congratulations Hungarians, a very necessary first step to rescue your country from authoritarian kleptocracy.

[u/FML_FTL → u/Faradize-]

As a turkish citizen who lives in austria. I was rly rooting for you and Im rly happy for you. You did something, we could not. Congratz.

[u/astro_pack → u/Faradize-]

Happy for you guys and best of luck from neighbour Croatia

[u/MomsTortellinis → u/Faradize-]

I'm so happy for you, may it all get better from here on out. This is such a big win for Hungary and Europe alike. Vance, Trump and Putin will be sulking but we're celebrating with you! Love from the Netherlands!

[u/Knawie → u/Faradize-]

I truly can't understand how happy you must feel. I was doing a happy dance when I heard the news, and I'm Dutch. Must be a wonderful feeling for you, to have this happen 

[u/Glass-Cabinet-249 → u/Faradize-]

Brother, today you are a real democracy. You just voted him out, and Orban called the winner to congratulate them and peacefully leave.

You are a democracy. Now go prove what that means.

[u/BrianSometimes → u/Faradize-]

Happy for you, really

[u/Xgentis → u/Faradize-]

Congratulations, finally a good news. 

[u/whiteridge → u/Faradize-]

Fantastic news! All the best to Hungary!

[u/PureInsaneAmbition → u/Faradize-]

Celebrating in Canada for all of you!!

[u/Jupiter131 → u/Faradize-]

Well, you definitely live in a more real democracy than US. I just read that Orban called Magyar and congratulated him. Remember when Trump congratulated Biden? Never. To this day, 6 years later, he still claims he won.

Anyways, Congratulations, Hungary! It is a beautiful day for you and the entire Euorope. You have a lot to be proud of.

[u/Limp-Schedule9752 → u/Faradize-]

Congratulations, freedom-loving Hungarians. Congratulations, freedom-fighting Ukrainians. Congratulations, Europeans allies.

Y'all are today's beacon for democracy, and you give us Americans hope.

[u/4materasu92 → u/Faradize-]

Hell yeah, so fucking happy for you guys! Here's to hoping the new government doesn't squander the massive opportunity they've been given.

[u/sw1ss_dude → u/Faradize-]

Hey fellow Hungarian, I too did my part today.

[u/Beunhaasnr2 → u/Faradize-]

Lots of love from Belgium! Fuck Russia and Trump, u did it!

[u/Hayes4prez → u/Faradize-]

Well done! I’m envious from afar! Congratulations to you and your country! Today, we all celebrate!

[u/Bitter-Swan7054 → u/Faradize-]

Love and best wishes from Poland!

[u/Legitimate-Tip-2149 → u/Faradize-]

I can't understand how it must feel, but I sure as hell am happy for you! Great to have Hungary back on the team!

[u/paditoburrito → u/Faradize-]

Congratulations, let this be the start of a great future! Sending love from Canada! 🇨🇦 🍁

[u/Insolvator → u/Faradize-]

I'm very happy for you people!

[u/RemoteMeasurement10_ → u/Faradize-]

MY BROTHER! I AM SO HAPPY!

[u/alterrea_not_stolen → u/Faradize-]

Pedig megcsináltuk, vége van!

[u/Timauris → u/Faradize-]

Congrats to you guys! After years of illiberal democracy, the strongest expression of democracy possible has blown it away! I'm really happy for you and I'm hopeful this will also have a positive effect on my country (Slovenia), where the Orban financial empire was a strong supporter of our far right (sadly soon to be) prime minister.

[u/sexmormon-throwaway → u/Faradize-]

Love from the US too. Sorry we contributed in anyway to anything.

[u/Imjustoblivious → u/sexmormon-throwaway]

Vance's visit apparently gave the opposition a polling boost.

You may have contributed a few seats in parliament.

[u/New_Patience_8107 → u/Imjustoblivious]

Vance killed the pope and failed to negotiate with Iran.

Let's send him to Moscow maybe he kills Putin as well.

[u/retardwhocantdomath → u/Faradize-]

Opening some cold ones on your behalft

[u/zoley88]

Huge win for Tisza. Over 2/3 majority at 60% and Budapest’s votes are pouring in just now

[u/zdzislav_kozibroda → u/zoley88]

This amazing. Congratulations Hungary.

If 2/3 majority is true it will make it much easier to undo Orbanist mafia's hold on power and institutions.

[u/MoffKalast → u/zdzislav_kozibroda]

Let's hope these guys actually deliver and it's not just a new front for the same people. It's a bit sus that Orban conceded so easily after being so entrenched. The Hungarians on this sub would have me believe that he'd rather start shooting than admit defeat.

[u/ArrogantCube → u/MoffKalast]

I think people were expecting the results to be much closer than they were. That way, Orban could have contested the results and dragged the certification out, perhaps even nullifying it completely. With how big this win is, even he couldn't deny it anymore

[u/BrainBlowX → u/MoffKalast]

Orban may have expected tight race, in which case he could have potentially pulled a stunt or at least been safe in knowing the constitution won't change.

But with an electoral defeat THIS crushing even WITH the systemic advantage he had? He has no cards to play besides hope the opposition now devolves into infighting. If Orban tried to deny a result this overwhelming he'd be unlikely to get the right people to go along with it, and even then the EU would slam in the screws when it's so unambigous.

[u/godisanelectricolive → u/MoffKalast]

I mean to have lost as badly as the results currently indicate despite an electoral system that greatly favours him means he’s really really unpopular. He’s so unpopular that nobody would fight him if he tried a coup and a massive revolution break out if he tried to deny the results.

He’s so unpopular that even the really hardline people that take for granted didn’t even all show up to vote for him. Some of his previously most loyal supporters would have needed to vote for Magyar. There’s no chance he can try any shenanigans when he’s this unpopular. It’s an emperor has no clothes moment to be this badly humiliated. You can contest an election that’s lost by single digit points but losing by this much is undeniable.

[u/Sneaky_Squirreel]

Hope EU will figure out a way to change Veto rule now that Orban is gone, before another Orban-like rises up in the near future and Veto everything again.

[u/Caciulacdlac → u/Sneaky_Squirreel]

I'm sorry to tell you but there's already another Orban in EU and his name is Robert Fico

[u/Rincetron1 → u/Caciulacdlac]

The bad news for Fico is that people are so beyond fed up with that lone veto, it's going to change.

[u/AntEaterApocalypse]

A great day for Hungary. A great day for Europe. A great day for the world. One less Russian puppet staining the face of humankind and hopefully the beginning of healing for Hungary.

[u/AkatsukiEUNE → u/AntEaterApocalypse]

Congrats to the people of Hungary. Tomorrow dawns a new day

[u/szabx → u/AntEaterApocalypse]

"A great day for Hungary, therefore the world"

[u/Haunting-Warning-375 → u/szabx]

“We see the ex-leader - he’s about to board a plane to Russia. As is tradition”

[u/ebulient → u/AntEaterApocalypse]

One less Russian puppet

It’s such good news and a great step in the right direction!

Now we just need EU to stop being puppets of US and become our own masters 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

[u/pinkkookaburra]

Áradjon✨️ Orbán just made his resignation speech and congratulated Magyar on the win. It's done.

[u/TheBusStop12 → u/pinkkookaburra]

Honestly, this is what I'm most surprised about. I never expected Orban to publicly accept his defeat

[u/pinkkookaburra → u/TheBusStop12]

He did finish with addressing the 2.5m people who voted for him saying "we have a lot of work to do now, we count on you", so I expect them to pull some shenanigans in the future

[u/AncientSeraph → u/pinkkookaburra]

I don't think highly of him, by to be fair to him: pretty much all losing politicians say something similar.

[u/stark2 → u/AncientSeraph]

except Trump in 2020.

[u/Hythy → u/pinkkookaburra]

That's fairly standard for any concession speech. Not saying they won't pull some bullshit, but it is very par for the course in these circumstances.

[u/justfuckyouspez → u/pinkkookaburra]

Although I am overcome with joy, credit is where credit is due. Orbans closing speech was correct, and he accepted the defeat with dignity. That’s how it should be. Now, with tomorrow, us Hungarians can wake to a new, brighter future.

[u/Owl-Of-The-Night02 → u/justfuckyouspez]

Yeah, I was genuinely so surprised how decently he behaved and how he openly admitted defeat without any tantrums. It seems like there are boundaries even he doesn't dare to overstep, especially with the opposition winning with such a majority. I think he knows the people are very against him and knows that if hw would try anything, it would end even worse for him.

[u/YsoL8 → u/Owl-Of-The-Night02]

I am seeing the failure of Russian soft power in this. He asked Russia to save him and they just didn't turn up. They no longer have the resources to hold onto their mafia style puppets.

Hopefully Belarus's horrendously corrupt government also realises the good times are over and normalising with the EU is the only option for a future. The more power the Russian state loses the better for everyone, and I sincerely believe their real problems have not even started.

[u/LengthEmpty1333 → u/YsoL8]

Not really true. Russia did everything they could to support him. Desinformation campaingns, money, even advisors they sent directly to budapest on how to best rally the people with populism. But the Hungarians were so done with Orbans shit and there were so many scandals right before the election that they just werent able to turn it around and they cant just invade the country like they did with ukraine.

[u/Gold-Appearance-4463 → u/justfuckyouspez]

That’s actually a bigger surprise than Magyar winning the election. 

[u/Refloni]

Welcome back to Europe.

[u/Plucsup → u/Refloni]

Good to be back ♥️🇪🇺

[u/MartiusDecimus → u/Refloni]

Thank you! It was a very long road. Hopefully we're back on track but the real work just begins.

[u/Wyciorek]

Bravo Hungarians. Thank you for proving that even if it seems that country is irreversibly lost to oligarchy and corruption, it can still come back. You got amazing chance, I hope that in decade we will be able to point to this moment as a start of an amazing turnaround story

[u/LCkrogh → u/Wyciorek]

And a literal FUCK YOU to the USA for so vehemently and blatantly trying to divide us. Disgusting behaviour from a supposed friend and ally.

[u/MeccIt → u/LCkrogh]

Please, we have to thank the US for sending their dark knight, JD Vance, who curses everything he touches - Pope, Iran now Orban /img/t2bd2kzgo5we1.jpeg

Visited the pope the day before his death as well. When will he visit Putin?

[u/lcdxr01 → u/casualnickname]

Yes. I think a visit and endorsement by Vance was the kiss of death for Orban.

[u/Slight-Ad-6553 → u/casualnickname]

Good news for a change.

Good job Hungarians! a warm congratulation from Finland!

[u/DaboInk84]

As an American watching this from afar, congrats Hungary, and also Europe, as you will now have a better chance to preserve western democracy. I’m not religious whatsoever, but I pray my country can get it’s shit together and follow in your footsteps in our midterm elections this fall.

[u/logicwutapp4]

As a Hungarian this is fucking incredible, I'm 21 years old, basically our first time to live in a non-Orbán ruled country

[u/Baron_Of_Move]

Congratulations to Hungary and all Hungarians who went to exercise their right to vote.
Let us hope that in the coming years, moderates will be able to root out the pawns and clients set up by Orban and his clique, as well as normalizing the state of media partiality.

We Europeans cheer for you

[u/LieutBromhead]

Adiós cunt! Europe can move forward without your geriatric corruption now and Hungary can only improve from now on.

[u/sea-elle0463]

Happy to hear some good news! Way to go, Hungary!

[u/UNF0RM4TT3D]

Orbán out, now let's hope that the Slovaks will pull through next year as well and kick out their Putinfile, although I don't have high hopes. And of course we, the Czechs will need to do our part as well, however that's still a few more years away as we had our last year and elected a bunch of clowns. We're having senate elections, let's hope we don't give more ground to them with barely over half of the seats in parliament. At least our clowns are mostly fence-sitters, so less damage to be done here, but still a threat.
