Péter Magyar to Lead Hungary

Péter Magyar to Lead Hungary

The end of Viktor Orbán's 16-year rule marks a historic turning point for Hungary and the European Union.

Magyar's TISZA party secured a two-thirds supermajority, granting him the power to enact significant constitutional reforms and restore media freedoms.

The incoming prime minister has already signaled a shift away from Russian energy dependence and toward closer alignment with Brussels.

As Magyar prepares to take office, he faces the daunting task of dismantling a 'captured state' and securing billions in frozen EU funding.
