VIKTOR ORBÁN WINS FOURTH CONSECUTIVE TERM AS HUNGARY’S PRIME MINISTER

The nationalist Prime Minister of Hungary Viktor Orban has won a fourth term by a landslide in the country’s general election.

Near-complete results showed that his right-wing Fidesz party had 53.1% of votes with 98% counted, preliminary results show, while the opposition alliance led by Peter Marki-Zay was far behind with 35%.

In his victory speech, Orban criticized Brussels bureaucrats and President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, calling them opponents.

Zelensky has repeatedly criticized Orban’s ban on the transfer of arms to Ukraine, with which it shares a border.
