Hungary’s Hope for Change
The local elections in Hungary represent a major political setback for Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. The joint candidate of the opposition, Gergely Karácsony, defeated the Fidesz-backed incumbent István Tarlós in the mayoral election in Budapest for example. In an interview with freiheit.org, Anikó Paróczai, newly elected member of the Budapest city council, assesses the success of the opposition parties and explains what the local elections mean for her country.
