Hungary’s incoming prime minister plans a ‘regime-change celebration’ to mark Orbán’s departure
Magyar plans to celebrate his inauguration with thousands expected in the capital as his government prepares EU outreach, corruption probes and a major cabinet overhaul.
- On Saturday, incoming Prime Minister Péter Magyar takes his oath of office at Hungary's neo-Gothic parliament, marking the end of Viktor Orbán's 16-year rule as thousands gather to celebrate.
- Magyar's center-right Tisza party defeated Viktor Orbán's nationalist-populist Fidesz in a landslide victory last month, gaining more votes and seats than any other party in Hungary's post-Communist history.
- One of Magyar's top priorities is unlocking about $20 billion in European Union funds frozen during Orbán's tenure; he also vowed to form the National Asset Recovery and Protection Office to investigate misused public funds.
- Anita Orbán and István Kapitány have been nominated for foreign affairs and economy minister roles, while Tisza officials intend to restore the European Union flag on parliament's facade beginning Saturday.
- Budapest Mayor Gergely Karácsony announced a 'system-closing' party along the Danube River to honor those who opposed Orbán, while Magyar will address crowds after saying 'Farewell to the system' at his inauguration.
