I know this thread is old, and sorry for bumping it, but it would have fitted just in here:
In a by-election in the Western Hungarian seat of Veszprem, the independent candidate Zoltan Kesz won by 9 points over a Fidesz candidate, after the former MP (from Fidesz) went to Brussels to serve in the European Commission. The seat was won by Fidesz by over 20% in the 2014 election.
This would not be that memorable normally, however, this loss for Fidesz means that Orban now has lost his 2/3 majority in the Hungarian Parliament. This by-election so is seen as a message to Orban and Fidesz, who have lost popularity in Hungary in recent months. According to late polls, Fidesz is now only supported by 24% of the Hungarians. (They got 48% in the last election)
Good news! Hopefully, they will be wiped out at the next general election.
How is it good news?

Well, if your name is Victor Orban or Vladimir Putin, it is a bad news. For the rest of us, it is good.
