DOMINANT ANGLE

Ottawa sees Magyar's victory as the end of Hungary's NATO blockade and a strengthened European flank

Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media

ANALYSIS

Ottawa follows Orban's fall with the attention of a country that has a direct stake in strengthening NATO's European flank. The National Post headlined the 'historic' end of 16 years in power, while the Globe and Mail noted Hungarians were 'voting in record numbers' — a detail that legitimizes the result against any fraud claims. For Canada, which just raised its defense budget above 2% of GDP, the end of Hungary's NATO blockade is concrete operational relief.
