- 内容摘要
- 民主党将欧尔班败选视为对特朗普和“让美国再次伟大”共和党人的警告
- 共和党反应不一,部分人认为这是对普京影响力的拒绝
- 埃隆·马斯克对欧尔班败选表示惋惜
华盛顿4月12日路透电 — 美国民主党周日为匈牙利总理欧尔班·维克托的败选庆祝,而此前特朗普背书的这位领导人落败后,特朗普的盟友和共和党同僚反应则更为复杂。
特朗普在此次选举前一直支持欧尔班,甚至上周在匈牙利的一场竞选集会上短暂发言,当时美国副总统JD·万斯上台时还致电了他的老板。

但欧尔班在执政16年后失去权力,匈牙利选民以创纪录的投票率支持由中右翼竞争对手彼得·马扎尔牵头的亲欧盟路线。
美国两党议员均向马扎尔的胜选表示祝贺。
部分民主党人将欧尔班败选视为美国11月中期选举的前兆。
“注意了,唐纳德·特朗普。妄想当独裁者的人终究会被选民抛弃,”参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默说道。
“极右翼威权主义者欧尔班·维克托已经败选。国会中的特朗普马屁精和‘让美国再次伟大’极端分子将在11月步其后尘,”美国众议院少数党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯说道。

美国参议员罗杰·威克等共和党人认为,此次匈牙利选举结果是对俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京的否定,欧尔班多年来一直与普京保持密切联系。
作为参议院军事委员会主席的密西西比州共和党人威克表示,选举结果表明匈牙利民众拒绝了“弗拉基米尔·普京的恶意影响”,并“决定了自己的未来”。
特朗普本人周日并未提及匈牙利选举,尽管他通过社交媒体帖子、电视采访和简短的记者会就诸多议题发表了看法。
但他的几位支持欧尔班的盟友,如科技大亨埃隆·马斯克,对选举结果表示惋惜。
“索罗斯组织已经接管了匈牙利,”马斯克在其X社交平台上写道。
亿万富翁金融家、民主党主要捐助者乔治·索罗斯是移居美国的匈牙利人,长期以来一直遭到许多保守人士的诋毁。
欧尔班长期以来与欧盟在包括俄罗斯对乌克兰战争在内的一系列问题上存在分歧。
他自称的“非自由民主”理念呼应了特朗普所宣扬的政策,包括对移民采取强硬立场、敌视全球机构以及攻击媒体和大学。
欧尔班是2016年特朗普总统竞选期间首位背书他的欧洲领导人。
特朗普上周表示,如果欧尔班胜选,他的政府准备“动用美国全部经济实力加强匈牙利经济”。

- Summary
- Democrats frame Orban’s loss as warning for Trump and MAGA Republicans
- Republicans offer mixed reactions, some cite rejection of Putin’s influence
- Elon Musk laments Orban’s defeat
WASHINGTON, April 12 (Reuters) – U.S. Democrats celebrated the defeat of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban on Sunday, while President Donald Trump’s allies and Republican peers offered a more mixed response to the loss of the leader that Trump had endorsed.
Trump had backed Orban leading up to the vote, even speaking briefly last week at a campaign rally in Hungary, when U.S. Vice President JD Vance telephoned his boss upon taking the stage.

But Orban lost power after 16 years as Hungarians voted in record numbers for a pro-EU course spearheaded by center-right rival Peter Magyar.
U.S. lawmakers from both major parties congratulated Magyar on his victory.
Some Democrats framed Orban’s loss as a harbinger of things to come for the November midterm elections in the United States.
“Pay attention, Donald Trump. Wannabe dictators wear out their welcome,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said.
“Far-right authoritarian Viktor Orban has lost the election. Trump sycophants and MAGA extremists in Congress are up next in November,” said U.S. House of Representatives Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

Republicans such as U.S. Senator Roger Wicker viewed the Hungarian election result as a repudiation of Russian President Vladimir Putin, with whom Orban had cultivated ties over the years.
Wicker, a Mississippi Republican who chairs the Senate Armed Services Committee, said the results showed that Hungary’s population rejected “the malign influence of Vladimir Putin” and “decided their own future.”
Trump himself did not mention the Hungarian elections on Sunday, even as he opined on topics through social media posts, a television interview and a brief gathering with reporters.
But a few of his pro-Orban allies, such as technology tycoon Elon Musk, lamented the result.
“Soros Organization has taken over Hungary,” Musk wrote on his X social media platform.
Billionaire financier and major Democratic donor George Soros, a Hungarian immigrant to the United States, has long been vilified by many conservatives.
Orban has been at loggerheads with the European Union over a range of issues, including Russia’s war in Ukraine.
His self-described “illiberal democracy” has echoed policies touted by Trump, including a hard line against immigration, hostility toward global institutions, and attacks on the media and universities.
Orban was the first European leader to endorse Trump during his 2016 presidential bid.
Trump said last week his administration stood ready “to use the full economic might of the United States to strengthen Hungary’s economy” if Orban won.
