Obama said this is a victory for democracy worldwide. "Yesterday's victory of the Hungarian opposition, as well as the Polish elections of 2023, is a victory for democracy not only in Europe but across the world," wrote former U.S. President Barack Obama on X. He added that it is, above all, a testament to the perseverance and determination of the Hungarian people. Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, also the wife of former U.S. President Bill Clinton, wrote on X that Orbán's defeat is actually a victory for all people who value democracy. "The end of Viktor Orbán's autocratic regime is a victory not only for Hungary but also for people who cherish democracy worldwide. I congratulate Tisza, the newly elected leader Péter Magyar, and all Hungarians around the world."
