Hungary's nationalist, pro-Putin PM Orban wins 4th term by unexpectedly large margin
CBSN
Budapest — Official results from Hungary's general election on Sunday showed nationalist Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's Fidesz party winning a fourth term in office by a much greater margin than pre-election polls had suggested, after a campaign overshadowed by the war in neighboring Ukraine.
Addressing a jubilant crowd chanting his name, many of them wearing Fidesz's orange party color, Orban said, "We have won a great victory -- a victory so great you can perhaps see it from the moon and certainly from Brussels."
Orban's administration has presided over repeated confrontations with the European Union, including over the neutering of the press and judiciary, and measures targeting the LGBTQ community -- also the subject of a vote on Sunday.
