Overview
- Magyar, elected by Parliament on Saturday with 140 votes, took office with a two‑thirds majority as Tisza holds 141 of 199 seats.
- Parliament signaled a pro‑EU shift by raising the EU flag and singing Ode to Joy, and Magyar named the release of blocked EU money as his first test.
- He outlined a cleanup drive that includes a new Office of Recovery to trace and reclaim public assets moved into private hands and a plan to join the EU’s anti‑fraud prosecutor.
- Authorities and reporters described early steps to probe deals from the Orbán era, with media also noting suspected capital flight to foreign accounts after the election.
- Magyar warned the budget deficit could near 7% of GDP this year, which adds urgency to securing EU funds to stabilize state finances and keep projects moving.
