... Peter Magyar's center-right Tisza party is projected to win Hungary's parliamentary election, bringing an end to 16 years of authoritarian rule under Viktor Orbán, a far-right ally of both President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

With roughly 45% of the ballots tallied Sunday night, Tisza is projected to win 135 seats out of 199 seats in the Hungarian legislature, according to Hungary's National Election Office.

In Hungary's parliament, a party needs 133 seats to obtain a supermajority required to amend the constitution and key laws.

Magyar, a moderate conservative figure who has seized on Hungarians' dissatisfaction with rising living costs, corruption and crumbling public services, described the vote as a "referendum" on Hungary's place in the world. ...

It seems that Pres Trump's "assistance" may not have helped.

How much sway does Trump have over Hungarian voters? (April 11, 2026)

... US President Trump has backed Hungarian PM Orban. It's unclear whether the endorsement will help in Hungary's election -- the European hard-right has struggled with Trump's recent anti-Europe policies and threats. ...

Trump will learn from this and will simply ensure elections aren't allowed to go on in an uncontrolled manner.

Well, at least the s*&^bags around him will.

JD Vance is on a historic roll:

He campaigns for AfD in Germany - they lose.

Invited the Pope to come to US for Trump's big event - Pope refuses.

Leads peace negotiations with Iran - fails miserably.

Campaigns in Hungary for Orban - who gets smoked.

Hungary knows fascism when they see it.

Republicans think Lincoln, our first Republican President, illegally deprived American Citizens of their property without due compensation.

Has Orban fled to Mara Pedo yet?

Pretty sure the Kremlin has retirement plans for Orban and Trump.

Though, I'm pretty sure Trump plans to flee to Argentina.

You don't simply give someone $10 billion without expecting a favor in return.

$10 billion?

Sorry.

$40 billion.

While Vance was visiting Hungary, I wonder if he used Orban's couch?

Yay!!!!

PM-elect Magyar's party also won a supermajority, so they'll be able to amend the constitution and undo the anti-democratic measures Orban instigated.

The EU will be breathing a sigh of relief with Orban, Putin toadie, no longer the fly in their ointment.

Ukraine should also benefit as Orban was the only voice holding up aid for their efforts against Putin's bloody invasion.
