Viktor Orbán is the leader of Hungary for 16 years. Now, people vote for a new leader. Orbán loses the election.

A man named Péter Magyar is the new winner. His party gets many votes. People are very happy. Thousands of people go to the streets in Budapest to celebrate. They want a big change. Péter Magyar says that he wants to help the people. He wants to be better friends with the European Union.

Viktor Orbán is sad. This is a big day for Hungary. The people are excited to have a new leader. It is a new start for the country.

Difficult words: election (a time when people choose a new leader), celebrate (to do something fun after something good happens), excited (happy and full of energy).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

Which organization does Péter Magyar want to be better friends with?
