Hungary Ends Orbán's 16-Year Rule
Hungary's Tisza party won a landslide election victory. Péter Magyar led the party.
Orbán had ruled for 16 years. Voters said Hungary's weak economy was a major reason.
Magyar says he will repair Hungary's tense relationship with the European Union. EU leaders are now meeting with Magyar's team in Budapest.
Billions of euros in EU funding were frozen under Orbán. Repairing EU ties could unlock this funding for Hungary and Ukraine.
Klear Note — Hungary is an EU member state. Orbán's government had tense relations with the EU over rule of law concerns. Frozen EU funds could help Hungary's struggling economy.
