Orbán Out: Hungary's EU Future in Question After Shock Vote
A historic number of Hungarian voters have removed Prime Minister Viktor Orbán from power. This political shift could dramatically change the country's long-strained relationship with the European Union (EU). For years, Orbán was a frequent critic of the bloc, challenging its policies on migration, rule of law, and funding. The new government will now decide Hungary's path. Analysts will watch closely to see if it seeks to repair ties with Brussels or continues a more independent course. The EU's response to the change in leadership is now a major question for Europe.
