Hungarian PM Viktor Orban Elected To Fourth Term

The Associated Press reports:

Hungary’s nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban declared victory in Sunday’s national elections, claiming a mandate for a fourth term as a still incomplete vote count showed a strong lead for his right-wing party.

In a 10-minute speech to Fidesz party officials and supporters at an election night event in Budapest, Orban addressed a crowd cheering “Viktor!” and declared it was a “huge victory” for his party.

“The whole world has seen tonight in Budapest that Christian democratic politics, conservative civic politics and patriotic politics have won. We are telling Europe that this is not the past, this is the future,” Orban said

The Independent reports:

Hungary’s prime minister Viktor Orban has criticised Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky in his victory speech, after winning a fourth consecutive term in a the country’s general election.

Much of the election campaign was focused on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which led to many questions about Mr Orban’s longtime association with president Vladimir Putin.

In his speech, Mr Orban referred to Mr Zelensky and Brussels bureaucrats as the “opponents” he had to defeat during campaigning.
