Viktor Orbán

Hungary's PM Magyar and EU chief von der Leyen agreed to unfreeze nearly €15 billion held back under Orbán.

Former Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán: "If you do not fight in Brussels, they will trample you, push you down, and rob you. The new leadership must understand this. It is not yet clear to me that they understand it, I do not see it yet."

Orbán warned that abandoning Hungary's patriotic stance would be "a huge strategic mistake" with a heavy price.

Viktor Orbán will step back from Hungary's parliament after losing the April 12 election, ending 16 years in power. He says he'll focus on reorganizing Fidesz.

Hungarian PM, Péter Magyar:

"Until 31 May, the Orbán puppets may voluntarily step down from their positions. This applies to the President of Hungary, the President of the Curia, the President of the National Office for the Judiciary, the President of the Constitutional Court, and the Prosecutor General. If these officials do not step down voluntarily by 31 May, then, on the basis of the mandate received from millions of Hungarians, we will remove them from office."

Trump on the Hungarian elections:

"Viktor Orbán was a friend of mine. It wasn't my election, but he was my friend, a good man. He did a good job on immigration. He didn't let people come in and ruin his country like Italy did."

The EU is looking to push through a €90 billion loan for Ukraine with Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán's government on the way out, according to Bloomberg, citing a Cypriot official. Orbán had blocked the loan. His expected successor, Peter Magyar, is expected to allow it.

Hungary’s PM-designate Peter Magyar says after a sweeping election win: “we have replaced the Orban regime and liberated Hungary.”

Hungary’s Viktor Orban: “The election result, although not yet complete, is understandable and clear, painful for us, but unequivocal. The opportunity and responsibility of governing were not given to us, I congratulated the winning party.”

Hungary’s Viktor Orbán:

We will continue to serve our country and the Hungarian nation.

Hungary’s Viktor Orbán:

We will never give up.

Never, never!
