The upcoming 2026 Hungarian parliamentary election provides a rare chance for change within the country’s illiberal political context: The Respect and Freedom Party Tisza, under the leadership of Peter Magyar, is challenging the longstanding Fidesz regime led by Hungary’s prime minister of 16 years, Viktor Orban. During Mr. Orban’s tenure, Hungary’s democratic standing has waned significantly, and Mr. Magyar appears to be the strongest chance to reverse this trend. While the opportunity that the 2026 elections present is significant and not to be ignored, it is important to recognize that the challenges facing Hungary’s democracy will not disappear after this election, as the damage done to Hungary’s democracy will take significant and sustained effort to repair.

Democratic collapse is not always sudden. While a coup d’état is a clear break, democracies can be subtly dismantled through processes that erode their foundational elements.
