Orbán era swept away by Péter Magyar's Hungary election landslide
Brief
Viktor Orbán's 16-year rule is over, defeated by a 45-year-old ex-party insider who convinced a majority of Hungarians to oust him.
There was a time when Orbán himself spoke out against Soviet occupation, but he has become a close partner of Russian President Vladimir Putin, and his justification of cheap Russian oil and petrol has made him a highly unpopular leader in the EU, which has tried to shake off its reliance on Russian imports. Orbán has also reneged on an EU agreement to provide Ukraine with a €90bn (£79bn; $105bn) loan.
