We don't know yet the results in #Hungary's elections (it will take some more hours), but with 77.8% it was the highest ever recorded voter turnout in the country's history.

Tomorrow, on April 12th, #Hungary elects its national assembly, which then will elect the country's prime minister. There is a real chance Victor #Orbàn won't get another turn of being PM, but Péter #Magyar will be voted in.
Politico calls it "this year's most consequential election in the #EU." Hungary will alao be better off without him!
Fingers crossed 🤞
