Filip Valíček discussed the political changes in Hungary with Petr Jedlička, the foreign correspondent editor at DR. Jedlička analyzes how Péter Magyar won the election with over 3.1 million votes, securing an absolute majority in parliament. He attributes Magyar’s success not only to a strong campaign but also to the gradual weakening of Orbán’s system, which saw the pillars of Orbán’s political machine crumble or inflate. Jedlička also notes that the Hungarian electoral system, which was originally designed to favor the dominant party, significantly benefited Tisza. This gives Tisza a major opportunity to fundamentally change Orbán’s system, as promised. However, the new government remains somewhat unclear, composed largely of new and little-known faces. The future will reveal how Magyar will fulfill his promise of “de-Orbánization,” what bait Orbán left for his successor, what Magyar’s victory means for the rest of Europe, and whether Orbán might return.
