BUDAPEST - Hungary’s opposition scored its biggest election victory in a decade on Sunday when liberal challenger Gergely Karacsony ousted ruling-party incumbent Istvan Tarlos as mayor of Budapest and opposition parties made gains in other major cities as well.
No general election is due until 2022 and Orban, who rose to power in 2010, holds a huge majority in parliament. “We gave everyone a lesson on democracy. ... An opposition unity that voters have long expected has been formed, and the result tells us this is the path to take onwards,” Karacsony told cheering supporters.
“Today, the citizens of Budapest have decided that the time has come for something different,” Orban told a news conference. “We accept this decision. In the interests of the country and the citizens of Budapest, we are ready to cooperate.”
