There are reports of a russian campaign to influence the hungarian election, with some outlets suggesting it was an effort to keep viktor orbán in power. However, the outcome of the election appears to be that orbán was ousted, with a new prime minister, péter magyar, reportedly taking office. The nature and extent of russian involvement in the election are not entirely clear, with some outlets describing it as a "secret" or "covert" campaign, while others characterize it as relatively open.
