Peter Magyar's rise in Hungary

Magyar's victory has been hailed as a 'new dawn' for Hungary and a significant boost for the European Union's efforts to maintain a united front against Russia.

The incoming leader faces the daunting task of dismantling a state apparatus largely controlled by Orban's allies and oligarchs.

While he has expressed support for Ukraine, Magyar must also balance the expectations of a diverse coalition of voters.

His government is expected to be formally established by mid-May, marking a major shift in Central European politics.
