Sunday night in Budapest was glorious. The overwhelming majority of Hungarians in the country's biggest-ever election chucked out a corrupt and oppressive regime that had transformed a once-thriving post-communist country into a listening post for Moscow and Beijing.
I flew in Sunday morning hoping to witness the second great Hungarian liberation of my lifetime. Back in the late 1980s, I had been active in Hungary and other Central/Eastern European countries, working with the classical liberal Carl Menger Institute out of nearby Vienna to identify and assist people looking to escape what turned out to be the final days of Soviet-bloc tyranny.
