Official election results in Hungary show Péter Magyar and his opposition Tisza party won Sunday's parliamentary election in a landslide, with more than the two-thirds majority needed to amend Hungary's constitution. Hungary's far-right Viktor Orbán has been prime minister of the country since 2010, making him the European Union's longest-serving leader. His campaign was supported by Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Trump administration.
Tens of thousands gathered in Budapest on Sunday to celebrate the victory over Orbán. "Everybody was partying on the streets. Strangers were hugging each other. Music, drinks, cars honking.

"It was the looks on the street," Schulz said on the podcast. "It was like, you know when someone who's trying to sell you drugs, they give you this nod," he explained, implying that supporters of Trump's were silently expressing their approval of the sit-down. "That's all I've been getting for the last week."
