Emily Maitlis

Yeah, I mean, really joyous scenes there, Emily, that you captured last night by the Danube.

I should say that I went to my coffee shop this morning and the barista is Hungarian.

And she was nearly in tears about last night's election results.

I'd spoken to her last week.

I just don't believe it.

I think Orban will find a way of clinging on.

Presumably a very different mood at Orban HQ.

I think that's so interesting there, Emily.

You know, and also time for a change after 16 years is also a powerful message.

I heard you earlier talking about the LGBTQ flags, you know, among the crowds.

But Peter Magyar, who has become the new prime minister, will become the new prime minister.

He's not some sort of bleeding heart, liberal, woke kind of, I don't know, Barack Obama, come Zoram Mandani, come Emmanuel Macron, is he?

Yeah, look, I suspect that the young people who voted and the turnout was extraordinarily high, the highest since democracy came to Hungary.

that there will be some disillusionment inevitably among the young people.

But isn't that always the case in every election where a political leader finds that they can't deliver everything that everyone wants immediately?

What a wonderful phrase that no one has heard of J.D.

Vance.

Well, we'll talk about America's position in the world and also what this means for Europe just after the break.

So the result in Hungary puts into context the week from hell that J.D.

Vance, the vice president, has just had.
