Orbán Lost in April. He Just Got Re-Elected Fidesz Leader. Hungary’s New Government Has Already Reversed His Russia Policy. (opens in new tab)

Viktor Orbán was re-elected leader of Fidesz at a party congress on Saturday, running unopposed and collecting 729 of 737 delegate votes. The April 12 election that toppled his government — to Péter Magyar's centre-right Tisza party — has in eight weeks already undone his veto on Ukraine's EU accession, unfrozen €16.4 billion of Hungarian funds in Brussels and pushed Fidesz polling from 39 percent to 17.
