Overview
- Magyar, who was sworn in Saturday, took office after telling parliament he would serve the country rather than rule it.
- Tisza now holds 141 of 199 seats for a two‑thirds majority, while Viktor Orbán’s Fidesz drops to 52 after 16 years in power.
- At the ceremony, the EU flag returned to the chamber and the European anthem played, signaling a reset in Hungary’s stance toward the bloc.
- Magyar set priorities to repair EU ties and tighten rule‑of‑law to unlock roughly €20 billion in frozen funds as a swollen deficit adds pressure.
- Probes into alleged Orbán‑era corruption have intensified, including investigations into media businessman Gyula Balásy and freezes on some company accounts.
