Czech PM Babiš congratulates Péter Magyar on election victory

Czech politicians have reacted to the Hungarian election result, in which Viktor Orbán was defeated by Péter Magyar and his Tisza movement. Prime Minister Andrej Babiš (ANO Party) congratulated Magyar, saying he had gained the trust of most Hungarians, adding he respected the outcome and looked forward to cooperation. Foreign Minister Petr Macinka (Motorists) said Czechia was losing an ally in the EU but aimed to maintain strong ties with the new government. Industry Minister Karel Havlíček (ANO) also congratulated Magyar, attributing Orbán’s loss to “fatigue after 16 years.” Opposition figures, including Vít Rakušan (STAN) and Zdeněk Hřib (Pirate Party), welcomed the result as a shift toward closer European cooperation and democratic values.
