Peter Magyar has been sworn in as Hungary’s new Prime Minister. The centre-right leader defeated nationalist former prime minister Viktor Orban, who had been in power for 16 years. His Tisza party now holds a constitutional majority, giving it the ability to amend or reverse policies introduced under Mr Orban’s government. He has said his priorities include strengthening democratic institutions and addressing political corruption.
