My congratulations to Péter Magyar on his resounding election win in Hungary against Viktor Orbán. A powerful moment for Hungary and for democratic values in Europe.

🎉❤️ We can breathe again.

💥🇭🇺🗳️ BREAKING: Péter Magyar says Viktor Orbán called to concede and congratulate him.

Magyar will be Hungary’s next prime minister and, as it stands, is set to secure a 2/3 supermajority – enough to fully dismantle Orbán’s system.

A 16-year chapter is over.

💥Polls closed in Hungary. No exit poll, but 21 Research Institute’s Apr 8–11 exclusive survey for
@telexhu.bsky.social shows the opposition Tisza party leading Orbán's Fidesz 55–38, with the far-right Our Homeland around the 5% threshold.

Tisza is on the verge of a parliamentary supermajority.

Yes, we could all do with some good news. 🌿 Hope you are well.

Or listen to the other Béla: Bartók's Concerto for Orchestra expresses both anti-fascism and nostalgia for the composer's Hungarian homeland. Also just a kickass work of classical music.
