Hungary’s new parliament convened on Saturday, May 9, with the opposition Tisza party holding an absolute majority following its April landslide victory. In a symbolic reversal of the previous administration’s policies, the new Speaker, Ágnes Forsthoffer, ordered the return of the EU flag to the parliament building for the first time in 12 years. While Viktor Orbán was absent from the session after resigning his seat to focus on party reform, Péter Magyar is set to have his 16-ministry government confirmed today.
