Hungarian MP shows off some wild dance moves after ousting of Viktor Orban

A Hungarian MP has gone viral for his wild celebratory dance moves as autocratic Prime Minister Viktor Orban was defeated in a landslide.

Zsolt Hegedüs danced with delight at the victory party held by Petér Magyar, the leader of the victorious centre-right Tisza party, as thousands took to the streets in Budapest to celebrate.

The result is a major boost for western Europe, with Magyar much more pro-EU, Nato and Ukraine than Putin and Trump-allied strongman Orban.
