Viktor Orbán resigns from his parliamentary mandate after 36 years

Viktor Orbán, the Prime Minister of Hungary, announced in a video recording posted on Facebook that he is resigning from his parliamentary mandate, emphasizing that this is a mandate of Fidesz and not a personal seat. In his message, Orbán stated that he is not needed in Parliament, but in reorganizing the national camp.

This decision comes after 36 years of parliamentary activity and in the context of the defeat suffered by Fidesz, which he described as a 'clear' and 'painful' result. Orbán congratulated his opponent and announced that his party will go into opposition, signaling a significant change in the Hungarian political landscape.

It is also speculated that Orbán may be planning a longer trip to the United States, where his family already has business interests.
