Right-wing Hungarian President Viktor Orbán's party just turned in its worst performance in a European Parliament election since the country joined the bloc.

The day after Hungarians voted in the European Parliament elections, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's government declared a big win, but missing from the victory speeches was an acknowledgement that it was his party's worst performance in an EU election since Hungary joined the bloc 20 years ago.

Never before have so many people, 2.015 million, voted for Fidesz-KDNP in an EP election,' spokesman Zoltán Kovács wrote Monday on the social media platform X. 'The message is clear: Hungarians say no to war, migration, and gender ideology.' Nonetheless, Fidesz has never performed so poorly in a European Union election since it joined in 2004. Votes for the party were down sharply from its 52% support in the 2019 polls, and it lost two of its European Parliament seats.

Orbán has already taken the place of the radical right in Hungarian politics,' Bíró-Nagy said. 'But the breakthrough that Viktor Orbán was hoping for didn’t materialize at the European level.'
