Orbán's Party Loses After 16 Years in Power
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has conceded defeat following a significant election loss. His party, Fidesz, failed to win a majority in the European Parliament vote.
Orbán called the result "painful." It ends his 16-year control of Hungary's government. He is a leading figure in the global far-right movement and a political ally of former U.S. President Donald Trump.
The loss weakens his influence in European Union politics. It also signals a major shift in Hungarian public opinion.
