Viktor Orbán to Leave Hungarian Parliament, Focus on Fidesz Reorganization

Viktor Orbán announced he will not take his seat in Hungary's new parliament following his party's electoral defeat. The long-serving Hungarian Prime Minister said he wants to focus on reorganizing what he calls the "national camp." Orbán, who led Hungary for over a decade as the head of the right-wing Fidesz party, suffered a significant political setback in recent elections. His decision to step back from parliamentary duties represents a major shift for the politician who has dominated Hungarian politics and been a key figure in Central European affairs, often clashing with European Union leadership over issues including rule of law, migration, and media freedom.
