Former NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg says Peter Magyar's win in Hungary's election over Viktor Orbán is "a positive election outcome" for NATO.
"I think also it will help NATO in the way that, as far as we know, the new prime minister will be more positive to cooperation between countries, both within the EU but also within the NATO framework," he says.

Analysis Summary
Peter Magyar's Tisza Party won Hungary's 2026 parliamentary election in a landslide, defeating Viktor Orbán's 16-year rule. Magyar pledged that Hungary will remain committed to both the EU and NATO, saying the country will be a strong ally of both institutions. Orbán's foreign policy had isolated Hungary within the EU by tilting toward Russia, so a shift toward closer Western alignment would likely benefit NATO's eastern flank and EU coordination on Russia policy. Magyar had explicitly campaigned on freeing a frozen 90 billion euro loan for Ukraine and removing Orbán's veto on new sanctions against Russia.
