Magyar ends Orban era

Magyar's victory is being hailed as a major turning point for Hungarian democracy and a significant blow to the rise of illiberal nationalism in the region.

The incoming Prime Minister has already reached out to regional partners like Poland to discuss repairing relations with the EU and restoring the rule of law.

While Orban's supporters remain a significant force in rural areas, the 'youthquake' that propelled Magyar to power suggests a fundamental shift in the country's political landscape.

Analysts are now watching to see how the new government will handle billions in frozen development aid from Brussels.
