Our latest work from the Young Think Tankers examines Hungary’s 2026 parliamentary elections, widely regarded as a potential turning point for European politics. After sixteen years of rule by Viktor Orbán and the Fidesz–KDNP alliance, the Tisza Party secured a historic two-thirds parliamentary majority, paving the way for far-reaching constitutional and institutional reforms. The report explores the decline of Orbán’s model of illiberal democracy, the challenges facing the new government, and the broader implications for populist and nationalist movements across Europe and beyond. It also highlights how Hungary is entering a delicate new phase in which democratic renewal, institutional reform, and political stability will need to be carefully balanced
