April 13 · People - Politicians

In a historic parliamentary election, the opposition TISZA Party, led by Péter Magyar, secured an overwhelming two-thirds majority. While the international community celebrates the “victory of democracy,” OSCE election observers draw a critical conclusion: Although the elections were free, they were not fair due to massive distortions of competition.
