The point here isn't that Hungary will now hasten Ukraine's accession, but that it will no longer act as an obstacle against it. Lavrov himself said the outgoing government was "blackmailing" the EU over this issue. Kyiv should be very pleased -- as Brussels clearly is -- with this outcome.

I don't like to say this, but the truth is no EU member state supports fast track accession for Ukraine, bar, perhaps Lithuania Alberto is shooting down a scarecrow Magyar's Ukraine stance is now consistent with most leaders in the European Council

After posting a lengthy attack against the pope, the increasingly unhinged President of the United States is now posting images of himself as Jesus Christ on his TruthSocial account.

Putin's veto in the EU parliament has just been removed. Ukraine can expect a much more helpful Europe in their existential fight against Russia. A fight neither Ukraine nor the rest of Europe can afford to lose.

🎯 Apologists trying to credit Orbán for conceding are intentionally missing the point. He would’ve done anything to stay in power had he thought it possible. Hungarians made it impossible. Trying & failing to destroy democracy receives no credit. He didn't stop; he was stopped.
Adam Schwarz@AdamJSchwarz
Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people realise. He systemically consolidated power for 16 yrs, fixed the electoral map, abused gov power for political purposes & censored media. The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.

"Péter Magyar" is an almost too-perfect Hungarian name. It'd be like a guy named "Johnny America" running for President of the United States.

Why didn't Orban keep power by repression? He must have thought about it. But with an economy embedded in the European Union and armed forces anchored in NATO, there were sharp practical limits to how tyrannical he could be without national catastrophe. Institutions mattered.

It even got to the point where the President of the United States (!) openly promised, on social media (!!), to give Hungarian voters money (!!!) if they chose Orban as prime minister.
Just think about it for a moment.
This is political corruption turned up to the absolute maximum, displayed with a level of brazenness and shamelessness the world has never seen before.

Orban concedes and congratulates the new Hungarian PM: Peter Magyar

Has Péter Magyar said thank you to JD Vance even once for helping him win the election with a likely supermajority?

I can't express how much the global Hate Machine/MAGA ecosystem modeled their future on Hungary.
Putin, Bannon, Schlapp, Grenell, Miller, Rubio, Colby hardest hit.

If Hungary can free itself from the rule of a corrupt Russian agent, the USA can too.

The far right is taking Orban's loss about as well as might be expected:
Based Hungary 🇭🇺@HungaryBased
With a Supermajority Tisza will be capable of Constitutional Change. Meaning there will never again appear a Hungarian Sovereignist Party. This loss is great, people will remember these elections for decades. But unlike other times in history, we elected ourselves into a client state status. The EU will make brutal changes in Hungary so another sovereignist and nationalist will not rise again. Repression will be made on levels not seen since Trianon or post 1848-1849 War of Independence.
