GEOPOLITICAL CONTEXT
Orban's fall after 16 years redraws the influence map in Europe. With a two-thirds supermajority, Peter Magyar holds a constitutional mandate enabling him to dismantle the Orbanesque regime structures — captured media, politicized judiciary, oligarchs. The first geopolitical casualties are clear: Moscow loses its de facto European Council veto on sanctions and Ukraine aid, Beijing loses its Belt and Road pivot in Europe, and Washington loses an ally it explicitly supported through Vance's Budapest visit. The historical irony is that a pro-European conservative toppled a pro-Moscow populist — not a liberal, not a socialist, but a man from the same camp who turned the weapon against its creator.
