A far-right party called Our Homeland would also make it into parliament, passing the 5% threshold.
Western media be big mad. They were backing an alliance that included Jobbik, an actual 'far-right' party, in an attempt to take down Orban. Of course, they're going to ignore that, but that resulted in a split from Jobbik gaining seats in the parliament.
From what I've heard, Jobbik isn't "the actual fascists" they used to be anymore, they toned it down years ago and now they're basically the usual abortion that some Europeans apparently call "right", which means they're way to the left of actual self-described communists and they're only being concerned with stuffing their country as far up Brussels' asshole as possible.
They were more right-wing a decade ago, but Orban basically copied most of their platform when they started becoming more popular. Then Jobbik moved to the left. 'Our Homeland' was started by people who left Jobbik because they weren't right-wing enough anymore.

It's Ukraine all over again.

Jobbik sounds like a terrible party.
