Peter Magyar sworn in as Hungary's PM

SUMMARY

Peter Magyar has been sworn in as Hungary's new prime minister, ending Viktor Orban's 16-year rule. Magyar, leader of the Tisza party, promises change after years of economic stagnation and strained EU relations. He called for Hungarians to “step through the gate of regime change” as his party holds a majority in parliament.

Facing challenges, Magyar plans to restore ties with the EU, revive the economy, and address a significant budget deficit. The EU flag was displayed in parliament for the first time in 12 years, marking a symbolic step back to Europe. His government aims to secure around $20 billion in frozen funds, withheld over human rights issues during Orban's tenure.
