Hungary's relationship with the EU

Following Sunday's parliamentary elections in Hungary, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stated that the results indicated the country was returning to its European path. She posted this after reports showed the opposition's Tisza party leading the election, defeating Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s Fidesz. The article notes that Orban congratulated his rival, Peter Magyar, on the preliminary win.
