Hungary is in a very difficult financial situation and it is our job to bring back the EU funds that belongs to us.
So we cannot really take out even more loans.
Our country has no time to lose. Hungary is in trouble in more than one way. It's been robbed, it's been betrayed, it's been indebted, it's been devastated. We became the most impoverished and the most corrupt country in the EU.
Haluaisin kertoa, mitä sanoin eilen, että Tisa-yhteisö representoi kaikkia hungarinoita. Ja myös niitä, jotka eivät ole valinnut Tisapatiin. Me representoimme kaikkia hungarinoita maailmassa, mutta myös ympärillä.
Tisza and Hungary won this election.
It's amazing.
It is something we've been waiting for our whole life.
As a young generation, we are incredibly happy and proud, proud for Hungary that we showed today that we belong to Europe and we will belong to Europe.
After 16 years, Viktor Orban's been ousted from power by Hungarian voters.
Orban's opponent, Peter Magyar, has been pledging to rebuild Hungary's relationships with the European Union and NATO.
EU President Ursula von der Leyen congratulating Magyar with a statement saying, Europe's heart is beating stronger in Hungary tonight.
Orban had been endorsed by President Trump, and the Hungarian leader was also seen as a loyalist to Russia's Vladimir Putin, who would never allow Ukraine to join NATO.
Orban conceded defeat, saying the election result is clear, it's painful for us, and they congratulated the winning party.
And that winning party is 45-year-old Peter Magyar of the center-right TISA party.
Magyar campaigned on issues affecting ordinary voters from public health care, transportation, and what he described as rampant government
If Fidesz tries to send a message that he is a bad guy, he is a narcissist, he beats his wife, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, people think, yes, we know. And would you vote for such a guy? Yes, we would. The Hungarian election result on the 12th of April will be watched closely around the world.
