Péter Magyar ousts Viktor Orbán

Hungary is entering a new political era after Péter Magyar secured a comfortable supermajority, giving his party the power to amend the national constitution.

Magyar has already announced plans to suspend state media broadcasts, labeling them a 'propaganda machine' that served the previous administration.

While European leaders have hailed the result as a turning point for liberal democracy, Magyar remains a conservative figure who must now navigate a complex energy habit linked to Russia.

The transition of power is expected to be finalized by early May, marking the most significant shift in Hungarian politics in nearly two decades.
