Barack Obama on the election in Hungary

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.

Most of all, it’s a testament to the resilience and determination of the Hungarian people — and a reminder to all of us to keep striving for fairness, equality and the rule of law.

It’s ALWAYS good to hear from a President we can trust (AND admire)! Very good to reconnect at the very moment we needed it.
