Viktor Orbán concedes defeat after 'painful' election result

Ooooh. I didn't think it would happen. This disturbs the balance a bit.
lysace•2h ago
Welcome back to Europe, Hungary.
jacquesm•1h ago
Time will tell. Keep in mind that his successor was part of Orban's party in the past.
flopsamjetsam•1h ago
I don't know much about him, only that he was in the same party. I have heard that he is pro-EU and anti-Russia though, is that true?
orwin•1h ago
Yes, he basically have the same views, except on Russia. One advantage though is that Orban put his people at the head of Hungary corporations, so maybe that will end and the corruption will be kept at "normal" levels.
jacquesm•1h ago
Pro-EU: probably. Anti-Russia: also probably.

For both: I prefer to see it all rather than to assume it will be fine. Oh, and we still have Fico to deal with. But at least Hungarians have chosen against Orban that in itself gives some hope. Those leaked phone calls that were made public in the last weeks were very damning, I always assumed that such stuff was going on but to have hard proof is on another level.

I wonder what they're going to do with the participants. And what Orban's plans are now that he's in the opposition. I would not count him out just yet, he's got Putin's backing and you can bet they'll work overtime to try to destabilize Magyar's government. The rot goes pretty deep and it will take a lot of work to undo all that damage.

lysace•1h ago
From your perspective as afaik nowadays a Californian progressive: Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.
jacquesm•1h ago
Yes, that's true. But there is enough about Magyar that I don't understand that I'm cautiously optimistic. Though it would be hard to imagine worse than Orban...

JD Vance strikes again. I wonder how long it will take US politicians and assorted billionaires to realize that their 'endorsements' will backfire.

cjbenedikt•1h ago
"...will take US politicians and assorted billionaires to realize that their 'endorsements' will backfire..." They may have to switch off their AI and start using their own brain - should they still have one, that is.
salawat•1h ago
Shhhh. Don't correct your enemy while they are busy making mistakes. Just smile and wave.
chollida1•2h ago
Sad commentary on the modern world where my first thought was, well good for Orban to concede defeat. Not all current world heads of state have that much maturity.

This bodes well for the midterm state of the European union.

mstade•1h ago
As a fellow European this is the biggest surprise of the election, I thought for sure he'd pull a Trump.
crop_rotation•1h ago
Pulling a Trump requires a polarized electorate where you are mostly going to have both parties in 48-52% range, with only real fights in few battleground states, and no absurd change in total vote %. Even Trump won't pull a Trump if other party was nearing 2/3rd majority. I am not even sure of what would happen to American politics if a party reaches 2/3rd majority in both houses, a list of long pending reforms might finally become possible.
stefan_•1h ago
Also an election system designed for horseback.
dd8601fn•1h ago
I think it's pretty damn brilliant. I see the failure to maintain it as intended as the real shortcoming.
tromp•1h ago
If anyone can bring about enough disappointment and disgust for 2/3 of the population to vote Democrat, it is Trump.
analog31•1h ago
Peaceful transition of power is definitely something to cheer about.
ahofmann•1h ago
Sadly so. In the last decades it was just normal for almost all countries. It's kind of maddening how low Trump lowered the bar for politicians.
croisillon•2h ago
contesting election results untruthfully always existed, but since 2021 the result is not the headline anymore, the concession is
tomalaci•1h ago
Amazing news for EU! If Tisza can get supermajority after votes are counted then they can also easily reverse a lot of constitutional corruption in Hungary done by Orban.
cmxch•1h ago
Europhiles happy, Euroskeptics not.
bigyabai•1h ago
Judging by the election results, it was a populist ouster.
ceejayoz•1h ago
Gosh, financial support for one of the candidates by an outsider would be horrible, right? https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/1163823353301...

> My Administration stands ready to use the full Economic Might of the United States to strengthen Hungary’s Economy, as we have done for our Great Allies in the past, if Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and the Hungarian People ever need it. We are excited to invest in the future Prosperity that will be generated by Orbán’s continued Leadership! President DONALD J. TRUMP

edit: OP's post originally complained that this was Soros's fault.

jacquesm•1h ago
Let's see Trump standing by his word and help strengthen Hungary's economy now that the Russian Stooge has lost. So much for that continued leadership.
seper8•1h ago
Thank god Vance showed up to support him!
ceejayoz•1h ago
Vance also knocked off Pope Francis, and the Iran deal last night. Maybe we can send him to Moscow next.
seper8•1h ago
I bet Viktor felt too uncomfortable to tell him "no please don't come stay in the USA, you are political poison"
comrade1234•1h ago
Flagged due to sour grapes.
Symbiote•1h ago
My guess is it's flagged by Americans (it's their daytime) who don't realize the significance of this result to the EU and potentially the EU's response to the war in Ukraine.
salawat•1h ago
You know, I took a second look at it, and weirdly enough, I can't vouch it for some reason. That's odd. Grats to the good folks across the pond though! May we be so lucky when next our transition is scheduled!

> You know, I took a second look at it, and weirdly enough, I can't vouch it for some reason.

The 'vouch' option doesn't appear until/unless the post becomes [dead].

burnt-resistor•20m ago
Probably flagged by MAGA and pro-Kremlin aligned accounts who dislike the results and uppercase Liberal limousine establishment Democrats who try to censor every view they don't already agree with. If these were normal times, the I'd say keep sex, religion, and politics private except not the latter when liberal democratic politicians, speech-debate, and journalism are/were under fire in many sectors and countries. I'm hoping with this result that Hungary will experience much greater press and personal freedom.. and the corruption will hopefully be exposed more widely similar to Caolan Robertson only hinting at some of the extravagant emoluments and embezzlement. https://youtu.be/HiayCdysN04
surgical_fire•13m ago
Eh, I guess that people that flagged it know quite well what this result mean to the EU, they just hate it because they want to see the EU fail.
jjtwixman•5m ago
There are a lot of American fascists on HN who will be absolutely distraught.
workfromspace•1h ago
Happy for Hungary!

Unfortunatlely, half democracies (ie representative) are open to abuse and give too much power to presidents or governments. Combined with populism, lobbying and corruption, it allows people like Orban to stay in power for a long time. Glad it's over.

Jamesbeam•23m ago
I knew the projections were looking really grim for Orban after watching JD Vance putting Trump on speakerphone five days ago during his Hungary visit. That was awkward.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GUoCvIMrgc

They must be really tired of winning by now.

What? 4$ gas until November Mr.President? Who doesn’t love paying 30% more for Gas out of their pocket for a war that is already won. Tremendous work Mr. President. A capital V victory.

surgical_fire•16m ago
Good. I visited Hungary years ago, and I loved the time I spent there. It saddened me a bit to see its sliding into autocracy and being relegated to be a Russian vassal state.

Hopefully the damage Orban caused to Hugarian institutions get reversed.
