Orbán Defeated in Hungary – What It Means for Europe, the EU & the Right

About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of Viktor Orbán's defeat in Hungary and its potential impact on European politics and conservatism.

Viktor Orbán has been ousted after 16 years as Hungary’s Prime Minister in a seismic election result that could reshape European politics. In this episode of The Liz Truss Show, Liz is joined by Philip Pilkington to break down why Orbán lost, whether the cost of living crisis sealed his fate, and what this means for the future of conservatism in Europe. They explore the role of the European Union, claims of foreign interference, the rise of Peter Magyar, and whether Hungary’s political direction is about to fundamentally change. With warnings of a looming energy crisis, fuel shortages, and growing economic instability across Europe, could this election trigger a wider political shift across the West?
