Hungary Swears In New PM After Orbán Era Ends

Hungary is inaugurating Péter Magyar as prime minister, ending 16 years of Viktor Orbán's rule after Magyar's Tisza party won a landslide election nearly a month ago. The handover is being framed as a "regime change" — a charged phrase in a country that has spent years dismantling democratic norms under Orbán. Magyar's ascent represents one of the most dramatic political reversals in recent Central European history.
