Orban's defeat reverberates across Central Europe
"Facing such a strong opponent as Viktor Orban was never easy, yet he earned the trust of the majority of Hungarians and carries great hopes and expectations. He must not disappoint."
"I fully respect the decision of Hungarian voters. I am ready for intensive cooperation with the new government in Budapest."
"Slovakia's priorities remain unchanged. These include reviving the Visegrad Group, protecting shared energy interests, and restoring Russian oil supplies to Slovakia and Hungary via the Druzhba pipeline."
Peter Magyar's victory in the Hungarian parliamentary election reflects widespread discontent with corruption and economic issues. It also represents a clear rejection of Viktor Orban's illiberal democracy and a warning against closer ties with Moscow. Allies like Robert Fico and Andrej Babis congratulated Magyar but did so cautiously. Fico emphasized respect for the voters' decision and expressed readiness for cooperation, while maintaining Slovakia's priorities, including reviving the Visegrad Group and restoring Russian oil supplies halted due to conflict in Ukraine.
