In Hungary, Péter Magyar was sworn in Saturday to become the country’s new prime minister, ending 16 years of Viktor Orbán’s authoritarian rule. Magyar’s pro-EU center-right Tisza Party won 141 of 199 parliamentary seats last month in a landslide victory. The new speaker of the parliament ordered the EU flag restored to the facade of the Hungarian parliament building after 12 years of absence. The Tisza Party also held an all-day event called a “system-changing people’s festival.” This is Hungary’s new prime minister, Péter Magyar.
Prime Minister Péter Magyar: “The Hungarian people have given us a mandate to put an end to decades of drifting. They have given us a mandate to open a new chapter in Hungary’s history, not only to change the government, but to change the system, as well, to start again.”
