In a historic election on 12 April, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán was voted out of office after 16 years, with Péter Magyar’s Tisza party winning a landslide backed by record turnout. IDM Director Sebastian Schäffer, quoted in iNews, underlined the magnitude of the moment: had Orbán refused to concede, the EU could have faced the unprecedented scenario of having to “dismantle the European Union and establish it without Hungary” or even “accept a government in exile.” Magyar’s victory removes the bloc’s most persistent internal spoiler on Ukraine and enlargement policy, but Schäffer also sounded a note of caution: “We are projecting all of our hopes onto Magyar but we don’t know what he’s going to do.” Anti-corruption was Magyar’s central campaign message, and governing a state whose institutions have been systematically reshaped over 16 years will be the defining test of his leadership.

Ahead of Hungary’s landmark election on 12 April, IDM Director Sebastian Schäffer gave an in-depth interview to AzerNEWS, analysing what was at stake for EU-Hungary relations, transatlantic dynamics, and Ukraine policy. Schäffer cautioned against expecting rapid change even under a Magyar government: “A change in government in Budapest is an opportunity, not a resolution,” warning that the EU must use any window of opportunity to overhaul its instruments, starting with a reform of Article 7 of the TFEU, “which has proven essentially inoperable.” On US involvement, Schäffer noted a fundamental double standard: “The same actors who accuse the EU of interfering in sovereign democratic processes are actively campaigning for a specific outcome in a member state election.” On Ukraine, he anticipated recalibration rather than rupture under Magyar, with less obstruction and more “constructive ambiguity” — adding that in EU politics, “trust, predictability, and good-faith engagement matter enormously, and that alone can make a substantial difference.”
