Budapest faces a political earthquake: a historic power shift is emerging in Hungary's parliamentary elections. The opposition Tisza party, led by P\u00e9ter Magyar, is clearly in the lead according to initial projections and could even achieve a two-thirds majority in parliament.<\/p>\n
After 16 years in power, Prime Minister Viktor Orb\u00e1n has already congratulated his challenger on his election victory\u2014a remarkable move by the long-time head of government, who has ruled Hungary with an iron fist since 2010. The record voter turnout in this election demonstrates the enormous potential for mobilization that political change in Hungary\u2019s neighbor, Austria, has sparked.<\/p>\n
If this trend continues, it would mark the end of an era characterized by growing tensions with the European Union, controversial judicial reforms, and close ties to Russia. For Austria and the EU as a whole, a change in government in Budapest could have far-reaching consequences, particularly with regard to European cooperation and common foreign policy.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
