Viktor Orbán received a big slap – international press review

The Moscow correspondent of Zeit observes that American voters were motivated by more than just prices in the midterm elections, as autocrats are losing power elsewhere too. Michael Thumann praises the election results, indicating that citizens voted against the concentration of power and self-serving autocrats. This trend is evident in Hungary, Serbia, Brazil, and Armenia. Viktor Orbán, a close ally of Donald Trump, faced a significant setback, as his soft autocracy failed to maintain control over developments, leading to unexpected consequences from his own strategies.
