This week's episode looks both back at results from two elections in Eastern Europe last week – presidential and parliamentary elections in Serbia and the legislative elections in Hungary. In Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic has easily won re-election as Serbian President, alongside his SNS party winning a plurality of seats in Parliament. What is the key to Vucic’s significant popularity? What has been the impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on the campaign there? And what can the Opposition do to become more of a force?
In Hungary, as Viktor Orban wins a fourth successive term as Prime Minister, Sam and Chern assess his consolidation of power and what went wrong for the united opposition. Was it a mistake for the Opposition to unite, and were they ultimately incapable of presenting a united front? Are institutional reasons alone the key to Orban’s continued success? And what lessons can be drawn from these two election results in Eastern Europe? All these questions, and more, answered in this week's podcast.
