Viktor Orbán's rule in Hungary has come to an end after a decade. He lost national elections on April 12. Orbán's party, Fidesz, had rewritten the constitution to entrench his power. However, Péter Magyar's party, Tisza, campaigned against Fidesz's corruption and won a parliamentary supermajority. Magyar's campaign focused on Orbán's hypocrisy on immigration and corruption. He pledged to continue 'zero tolerance for illegal immigration' and to keep Fidesz's opposition to the EU's migration pact. Magyar's party won despite a tilted electoral system designed to keep Fidesz in power.
