The Latest Breaking News from Viktor Orbán

The less of our lives we allow to be put to a vote, the better.

Hungary’s ultra-conservative prime minister, Viktor Orbán, has preserved his two-thirds super majority in the country’s parliamentary elections. Orbán faced a coalition of six major opposition parties, who made the historic decision to run together under the United for Hungary coalition.

Having held power continuously since 2010, Hungary’s Viktor Orbán is the longest serving prime minister in Europe. Now, as the dust settles on the latest election, he is beginning yet another four-year term.

He referred to Ukraine's leader as one of his "opponents," along with Brussels "bureaucrats" and the international media.
