Hungary’s Revolution of Dignity. What's in it for Europe?

from Visegrad Insight Podcast · host Res Publica Foundation

Hungary’s historic parliamentary election on 12 April 2026 produced a landslide result, with Peter Magyar's Tisza party winning a supermajority with 136 seats in the 199-seat National Assembly and leaving just 57 seats for Viktor Orbán's Fidesz–KDNP. Almost 80 per cent of Hungarians cast a ballot, with a narrow majority voting for change.In this episode, Wojciech Przybylski speaks with Luca Flora Soltesz, a Budapest-based contributing editor at Visegrad Insight, about what this change means for Hungary and for Europe as a whole, how a new generation of voters helped decide Orban's future and what Hungarians feel and speak about after this 'revolution of dignity'.Watch this episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-QQI3Z3A8oFor more insights, analysis, events and member-only content on Central and Eastern Europe, subscribe to Visegrad Insight: https://visegradinsight.eu/membership-account/membership-levels/ (use special promo code Visegrad35 for 35 per cent off an annual subscription)
