Orbán Quits Parliament After Election Rout

The move positions him to reorganize Hungary's nationalist right outside the chamber.

Overview

Orbán said in a Saturday video that he will return his MP seat, arguing he is not needed in Parliament and will focus on rebuilding the nationalist camp.
The April 12 vote gave Peter Magyar's Tisza 141 of 199 seats, reduced Fidesz–KDNP to 52, and left the far-right Our Homeland with 6.
The step ends Orbán's uninterrupted tenure as a lawmaker since 1990, a stretch of 36 years.
He indicated he may remain Fidesz leader as the party plans a shake-up in opposition, with the new Parliament due to be sworn in on May 9.
Magyar accused him of cowardice and, in a separate video, pressed officials to block allies of the outgoing government from shifting assets abroad and warned investors off deals tied to Fidesz figures.
