Macedonian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade Timcho Mucunski has congratulated Péter Magyar, leader of the Tisza Party, for winning the parliamentary elections in Hungary on Sunday.
FM Mucunski, in a post on the X network, expressed his expectation that he would continue the cooperation “based on mutual respect, partnership and shared European values”.
“Congratulations to Péter Magyar on the election results. The citizens of Hungary have spoken, and there is nothing more important than the democratic will of the people. We value the strong bilateral relations built over the years and look forward to continuing our cooperation-grounded in mutual respect, partnership, and our shared European future”, reads Mucunski’s post.
Hungary held parliamentary elections on Sunday, in which the ruling Fidesz party of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán lost after 16 years in power, and the newly formed opposition party Tisza led by Péter Magyar won.
With 97 percent of the votes counted, Tisza won 138 seats in the Hungarian Parliament, while Fidesz has only 55 (six seats will be won by the right-wing Mi Hazank party). Tisza will have several more seats than the two-thirds majority needed, which will allow it to replace a large number of officials in the judiciary and regulatory bodies.
