Hungary's former prime minister Viktor Orbán congratulated Germany's far-right AfD party on its election victory in Saxony-Anhalt, calling it a major night for Germany and Europe. He posted the message on X on Sunday. Orbán praised AfD co-leader Alice Weidel and Ulrich Siegmund for what he termed a landslide victory, adding "Buckle up. This is just the beginning!" He governed Hungary for 16 years before losing to conservative challenger Péter Magyar in the April 12 parliamentary election. Orbán has long maintained ties with right-wing populists globally, including the AfD. Weidel visited him multiple times in Budapest during his premiership, reflecting their ongoing political alignment.
