Péter Magyar wins Hungarian election
In a seismic political shift, Péter Magyar's opposition movement won a supermajority, granting them the power to overhaul the national constitution.
The incoming prime minister has already vowed to restore media freedom and investigate the financial dealings of the previous administration's oligarchs.
Viktor Orbán's defeat marks a significant turning point for the European Union, which has long struggled with Hungary's frequent use of its veto power.
Magyar is expected to form a new government by mid-May, signaling a definitive move away from Russian influence and toward closer ties with Brussels.
