All eyes on Hungary today. It would be great to see an end to Orbán, a right-wing authoritarian populist who has really been difficult for the EU (and Ukraine). A victory for Magyar won't automatically mean a reset to pluralism & democracy given how deeply Orban has changed institutions. But it will still send a strong signal to his authoritarian friends around the world. #Hungary #EU #Orban #Magyar #Ukraine

@Lylamehta Would be great if it ends up happening and there seems to be some reason for optimism with the turnout being good too. Unfortunately sometimes these end in disappointment even when things look promising prior to it though.
