Orban Declares Hungary No Longer Democratic | Europe News

Hungary’s political landscape has flipped on its head as Viktor Orban, ousted from power, declares the nation is no longer democratic — calling his defeat a “Statement of Resistance” and accusing the new government of crushing free speech and justice. Prosecutors raided Fidesz’s digital infrastructure, which Orban insists is a politically driven crackdown to silence his party, despite claims the raid targets alleged corruption at the National Culture Fund during his tenure. Meanwhile, new Prime Minister Peter Magyar’s Tisza party, riding a wave of public approval, has pushed through a constitutional amendment that stripped the president and constitutional court chief of their terms — a move Magyar insists is about accountability, not authoritarianism. With Fidesz in chaos and Magyar’s party holding a commanding parliamentary majority, Orban vows to fight back peacefully, even as critics question whether Hungary’s democracy has truly been restored or merely reshaped.
