Hungary’s far-right Hungarian Justice and Life Party won 14 seats in the country’s second round of parliamentary elections, according to unofficial final results. The party is led by Istvan Csurka, who has made numerous anti- Semitic speeches in the past. The governing Socialists, who won 134 seats in the 386-seat house, were defeated by the center-right Young Democrats, who won 148 seats and now must form a coalition government.
