Hungary recently put an end to 16 years of Viktor Orbán’s rule when Péter Magyar’s Tisza party defeated him, winning a majority government in the country’s general elections. The result marks a major political turning point that’s likely to redefine the country’s institutions and its relations with the European Union, Russia, Ukraine and the United States.
Hungary’s political transition is not merely a change of government. It marks the beginning of a period of uncertainty about the direction the country will take in the future.
