Péter Magyar’s goal now is to reform Orbán’s Hungary. EU funds are at stake.

Hungary is on the cusp of a major shift in power as Péter Magyar, a seasoned politician, prepares to take the reins of the country with an unprecedented supermajority in parliament. Magyar's party, Fidesz, has secured an overwhelming majority, giving him the authority to implement significant policy changes and undo the lasting legacy of Viktor Orbán's 16-year rule. Experts predict that Magyar will face a daunting task in reversing the damage caused by Orbán's authoritarian leadership, which has eroded democratic institutions and sparked international concern. As Magyar assumes power, he will be under intense scrutiny to demonstrate his ability to restore Hungary's democratic credentials and steer the country towards a more inclusive and transparent future.

Péter Magyar is set to take Hungary’s reins with a supermajority’s powers – and experts say he’ll need it to undo Viktor Orbán’s 16-year rule.
