The Fall of Viktor Orbán in Hungary, Despite Trump's Endorsement.

The fall of Viktor Orbán marks more than the end of a long political era in Hungary; it represents a significant defeat for a broader ideological movement that has stretched far beyond the country’s borders. For years, Orbán stood not only as Hungary’s dominant political figure but as a central architect of a transnational model of governance—one that challenged liberal democratic norms while maintaining the outward form of electoral legitimacy. His departure therefore reverberates far beyond Budapest, sending shockwaves through a network of political actors across Europe and the United States who viewed him as both a pioneer and a guide.
