In a historic session on Saturday, May 9, Péter Magyar and his 16-ministry government were officially sworn into office, marking the formal end of Viktor Orbán’s 16-year governance. Addressing a parliament where his Tisza party now holds an absolute majority, Magyar pledged to “open a new chapter” focused on national unity and hope. The transition was marked by significant symbolic shifts, including the return of the EU flag to the parliament building after a 12-year absence.
