So they tried a lot of things to attack Peter Magyar personally, to destroy his image.

And those didn't work.

Yeah, absolutely.

I mean, from the 106 constituencies, Fidesz only managed to win 13, which is less than the opposition won four years ago.

So it's really like a huge defeat for Viktor Orbán.

And in district, like there is a district where Fidesz won by 50 percentage points four years ago, 50.

And now they only managed to win by four.

So the margin is absolutely sharp.

It's shocking how different this country is than it was four years ago.

I think it's clear it's going to result in a very different Europe and a very different European Union than it was with Viktor Orbán.

I mean, if Viktor Orbán managed to do one thing, it was that his position in the European Union and his role in the European Union became crucial and he really dictated many times the European Union's agenda.

and, you know, really prevented the European Union to make steps when it comes to Ukraine, when it comes to the war.

Peter Magyar already said that his first official foreign trip will be to Warsaw, to, of course... To Warsaw, to Poland.

Yeah, sure.

And I think Peter Magyar will be very keen to align with the European Union to, you know, really restore the trust in Hungary and restore our place in the European alliance.

Not least because Peter Magyar, one of his main promises is

was to access the frozen EU funds that are now being withheld from Hungary.

And in order to really make good on his election promises, he has to get those EU funds back.

No, I think with all due respect, nobody has any idea in Hungary about who JD Vences is.

He's largely an unknown politician here.
