Or hasten their literal death like he did for Pope Francis

Perhaps Magyar's most important promise, and the one that certainly resonates with voters: "never again a country without consequences!"
The crowd chants: "To prison! To prison!" [with the corrupt officials of the outgoing government]
With 90% reporting, Tisza is leading by 16 percentage points and projected to win 138 of 199 seats — above the 2/3rds majority. Crushing defeat for Orban.

The key to democracy is showing up in large numbers
I spent 16, SIXTEEN years fighting this crap.
I can’t believe it 😭
BBC is reporting that Tisza has won 138 (!!!) seats in Hungary’s parliament, which gives them a supermajority sufficient to change their constitution.
They needed 132. Astonishing.
Orban showing more class and more respect for democracy than Trump did in 2020.
It's not just that Orbán losing inspires hope in other competitive-autocratic countries ruled by right-wing nationalist authoritarians. It's that his loss materially changes things in those other countries, because he's been operating as a headquarters and funding source...
Syria
Venezuela
Iran
And now Russia is losing Hungary as well
Exit stage left
Hungary has chosen Europe.
Europe has always chosen Hungary.
A country reclaims its European path.
The Union grows stronger.
With the count at 53% TISZA and 38% Fidesz, the lead is even larger than the pooled polls *only* by independent and opposition-affiliated pollsters, which over a week ago was at 50% vs 38%.
BREAKING: Hungary just saw a stunning political shakeup. Opposition leader Péter Magyar says Prime Minister Viktor Orbán personally called to congratulate him on his victory, marking the imminent end to Orbán’s long grip on power.
2/3 of seats for Tisza likely. Party will be able to change constitution and cardinal laws to dismantle the party state. Hopefully it will do so responsibly to build foundations for pluralistic democracy. #Hungary
Orbán concedes defeat. #Hungary
Still hard to believe, but it really looks like Orbán is accepting defeat.
Viktor Orbán: The weight of governance is not on our shoulders, our job now is to strengthen our community "We don't know now what the election results will mean for the fate of our country and the nation, time will tell, but we will serve our country even in opposition," said Orbán. “The task before us is clear, the weight of governance is not on our shoulders, so our job now is to strengthen our community,” he said. “2.5 million Hungarians have supported us, we will never let them down.”
Orbán: We will never give up! "Everyone can know one thing, here in this room and throughout the country, we will never, never, never give up!" said Orbán
Per Hungarian outlet Telex, Viktor Orbán has now publicly conceded, but suggested he will continue in opposition. telex.hu/belfold/2026...
Orban lost!!! The people of Hungary understood the assignment. Maga, you're next

It looks like the opposition in Hungary will have a near 2/3rds supermajority. Fidesz is already alleging massive fraud. My preditction is Fidesz will nullify the election, win in the courts they rigged, weather the protests, and emerge still in power.
It's a preview of the US in 2028-2029.
Projection showing Tisza on 132 seats, Fidsesz on 61
A poll from 21 Research Center and Telex (independent media) conducted in the days before the election puts opposition party Tisza on track for a comfortable majority. (This is not, however, an exit poll.) telex.hu/belfold/2026...
The first exit polls in Hungary 👀🇭🇺
Hope in France's Provence and on the Canary Islands, authorities will have the same intense look at British residents as well. Oh, and maybe also in Berlin.
