My heartfelt congratulations on your electoral success, dear Peter Magyar. I am looking forward to working with you. Let’s join forces for a strong, secure and, above all, united Europe,” Merz stated in a post on X.The wave of international messages follows Hungary’s parliamentary elections, where early results showed the Tisza Party winning a commanding mandate, signalling a dramatic shift in the country’s political landscape.
