Hungarian populist prime minister Viktor Orban wins new term

Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orban said his "decisive" re-election victory and the super majority in parliament his right-wing populist party appeared to have won on Sunday were "an opportunity to defend Hungary."

Critics said they feared Mr Orban will use his third consecutive term and the Fidesz party's two-thirds control of Hungary's national legislature to intensify his attacks on migration and to strengthen his command of the country's centralised power structure.
