Prime Minister Mark Carney welcomed Hungary’s shift toward support for both Ukraine and liberal democracy on Sunday after voters in the European nation ended 16 years of far-right government.

After Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban conceded defeat to Peter Magyar and his Tisza party on Sunday, Carney congratulated Magyar “on a decisive election victory” in a social media post.

“The Hungarian people have chosen a new path. We are ready to work with you, and our European allies, to deepen our co-operation in trade, defence, and security,” Carney wrote.

Former Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff called it a historic moment for democracy in Central Europe.
