According to Magyar, yes, but I'd like to see it officially acknowledged. Also, looks like Magyar will get 2/3rds majority, so constitutional reforms are possible.

Update, Orbán officially accepted defeat. The Fidesz members behind him looked dead inside on the announcement.

Looks like Europe will finally have something to thank JD Vance for. I have a few suggestions for European politicians he should publicly support next.

(serious note: good job Hungary, obviously the real work was done by the Hungarian people who needed no external encouragement, it was just such low hanging fruit)

As a Hungarian, I cannot believe that I'm not drunk / dreaming / in an alternative universe.

Vance killed a pope last year, the last EU dictatorship this year. Place your bets for his next action.
