  • Orban's defeat in Hungary marks a halt on anti-European populism expansion and weakens Trump-style conservatism.
  • The opposing victory alleviates pressure on the EU to promote necessary reforms.
  • The symbolic impact is crucial: illiberal nationalism no longer seems invincible.
  • A change in government doesn't mean the disappearance of the system implemented by Orban for 16 years.
  • Orban's fall affects Vox in Spain, weakening its position and internal and external pressure capacity.
  • Péter Magyar, who has acquired the majority, faces the challenge of steering Hungary towards a constructive relationship with the EU.

Conclusion: Despite the uncertainty, Magyar's victory brings a new era of hope for Hungary and the EU, signalling a decrease in the power of anti-European populism.
