Local elections – International press reacts to Karácsony’s win
Last night, the local elections and the campaigns came to an end in every Hungarian region. There was a massive surprise in the capital, where Gergely Karácsony from the left party won. Not only Hungarians but international politicians and other prominent persons congratulated the new mayor of Budapest as well.
HVG reported that American actor Mark Ruffalo, international star of the Avengers movies, tweeted on his official platform that a new era is coming to Hungary.
The actor included an article by Washington Post to his post in which the writer shares details about the winning of Gergely Karácsony.
Congratulations! A new chapter is beginning for Hungary! https://t.co/3bjd8hCyXd

Although Ruffalo did not write Karácsony’s name in his post, undoubtedly, his post is a message to him. The American actor also stated a few weeks before that Viktor Orbán leads the country just like the president of the United States, Donald Trump does.
24. hu reported that Michael Ludwig, mayor of Vienna, congratulated Karácsony on his official Facebook site and looks forward to working with the brand-new mayor of the Hungarian capital.
Ludwig stated that Vienna and Budapest became stronger and stronger throughout history, and now they can cooperate as well.
