On April 12, the resounding victory of the Tisza Party, led by Péter Magyar, signaled a rejection of Viktor Orbán's illiberal model and his Euroscepticism. Among the lessons to be drawn from these Hungarian elections, several points stand out: this defeat reflects, beyond external influences, a renewed aspiration among citizens for the rule of law and European integration, confirming that the European Union remains a protective framework against authoritarian excesses. European citizens do not want autocracies and find in the European Union a legal, political, and solidarity-based framework. Finally, these elections serve as a reminder that any authoritarian endeavour, from Trumpism to Russian revisionism, inevitably comes up against the enduring will of the people and the universal demand for the rule of law and democracy.
