In 2022, Viktor Orbán’s Fidesz party was re-elected for the fourth time in a row, with the highest vote share won by any Hungarian party since 1989. At the time, Orbán remarked that “we won a victory so big that you can see it from the moon, and you can certainly see it from Brussels”. Four years later, and after 16 years in government, Fidesz has been ousted from power, shedding 80 seats since the previous election.
