Filip Valíček discussed Hungary’s political change with DR foreign affairs editor Petr Jedlička, who analyzed how Péter Magyar won an absolute majority in the elections. Jedlička explained that Tisza’s success was due not only to a strong campaign but also to the gradual weakening of Orbán’s system, whose pillars had crumbled or swelled over sixteen years. The Hungarian electoral system also significantly aided Tisza by allowing her to utilize a system originally designed to favor the dominant party. This gives Tisza a major opportunity to fundamentally change Orbán’s system as promised, although she remains somewhat obscure due to being composed mostly of new and little-known faces. The future will reveal how she fulfills her promise of “de-Orbánization,” what traps Orbán set for his successor, the implications of Magyar’s victory for Europe, and whether Orbán can return.
