Orban had not even dismissed his cabinet yet when Elon Musk already announced whose fault it all was. Soros structures are taking over Hungary, Musk wrote on network X, after Alex Soros - son of George Soros - publicly celebrated the opposition's victory.

So according to the richest man on the planet, the Hungarian election was not won by democracy, but by a Soros networks operation. Whether it was 138 of 199 parliamentary seats that defeated Soros, or two million Hungarians who voted - that is apparently a question of perspective.

The leader of the winning TISZA party, Peter Magyar, announced full renewal of Hungary's participation in the EU and NATO - a clear pivot away from Orban's policy. He simultaneously calls on the remnants of the parliamentary majority, including Hungarian President Tamás Sulyok.

Musk against Soros, Orban against Magyar, Russia against the EU - Budapest becomes an arena of global clashes. And the Hungarians? They simply voted. The rest is geopolitical theater in which everyone sees what they want to see.
