Nationalist Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban claimed a "great victory" in Sunday's general election, as partial results gave his Fidesz party the lead.
Addressing a jubilant crowd chanting his name, Orban said: "We have won a great victory -- a victory so great you can perhaps see it from the moon and certainly from Brussels".
Orban's administration has presided over repeated confrontations with the European Union, including over the neutering of the press and judiciary, and measures targeting the LGBTQ community -- also the subject of a vote on Sunday.
The 58-year-old, already the longest-serving head of government in the EU, was challenged by six united opposition parties seeking to roll back the "illiberal" revolution Orban's Fidesz party has pursued during 12 consecutive years in office.
But with more than three-quarters of votes counted, Fidesz was on 54 percent compared to 33 percent for the opposition coalition, according to results from the national election office -- an unassailable lead.

Good. Orban won because he’s keeping the accursed Muslims out of Hungary.
As well as electing MPs, Hungarians were voting in a referendum designed to elicit support for what Fidesz calls a “child protection” law banning the portrayal of LGBTQ people to under-18s.
Budapest resident Regina, 25 — who refused to give her surname — told AFP she had spoiled her ballot in the “twisted” referendum which she said had portrayed LGBTQ Hungarians as an “enemy”.
Results of the referendum are expected later in the night.
Great News!
George Soros just broke a No2 Pencil in angry frustration!
Excellent!
lol
Good for Hungary. They’ll at least have heating next winter.
Regina is NUTS!
I wonder if they use Dominion machines?
Five minutes ago Orban became pro Putin. Now he’s authoritarian.
Can’t wait to see what they’re calling him tomorrow morning.
L
A big defeat for George Soros.
A big victory for Nationalists everywhere!
The Globalists suffer another humiliating defeat.
Tokeletes! (”Perfect” in Hungarian)
There is nothing “authoritarian” about his government. He’s just NOT woke and is anti “New World Order” which is a great thing.
EXCELLENT!!!!!
👍
“Authoritarian” = rule by law
Igen !
Hungary and Poland are my bucket list countries to visit. Only really righteous ones in Europe.
