In my new @ecprtheloop.bsky.social blog I explain Péter Magyar's landslide victory in Hungary. I argue that the key to his victory lay in the Orbán regime's vulnerability. Magyar's rise caused a crack in the patronal system and triggered a process of voter re-orientation towards the new challenger.
