Hungary turns towards Europe, Ursula von der Leyen welcomes election result

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has reacted to the Hungarian election, in which Prime Minister Viktor Orban suffered a defeat. She described the citizens' decision as a return of the country to the European path.

In her statement, Von der Leyen emphasized that Europe has always stood by Hungary and that this result reinforces not only the country's orientation towards the European Union, but also the Union itself.

"Hungary has chosen Europe. Europe has always chosen Hungary. Together, we are stronger," she said.

The message from the President of the European Commission seems to signal a new chapter between Hungary and the EU, after a long period of tensions with the Orban government.

Recall that conflicts between Viktor Orban and the European Union have been ongoing due to his policies against the common EU line, especially in relation to Ukraine, the rule of law, and the use of veto on important decisions.
