Hungary has entered a new political chapter.

After more than a decade of Viktor Orbán’s rule, a decisive election result opened the door to structural change — from constitutional reform to foreign policy reset.

In this episode, we speak with Botond Feledy about what this shift means in practice. Can Hungary move from obstruction to cooperation within the EU? Will relations with Ukraine improve? And how will Russia respond to losing one of its closest partners in Central Europe?

This conversation explores the deeper implications of the election — not just for Hungary, but for the future of Europe’s political balance.
