Péter Magyar sworn in as Hungary's prime minister
Péter Magyar was sworn in as Hungary’s prime minister at Parliament in Budapest, formally ending Viktor Orbán’s 16-year premiership. Parliament was inaugurated and then voted to elect Magyar after he laid a wreath at the Attila József statue before the ceremony. Magyar pledged to tackle corruption, restore democratic institutions and steer Hungary back toward closer alignment with the European Union. The transition matters because it signals a possible reversal of Orbán’s nationalist, EU-skeptical policies and could reshape Hungary’s role in European politics and rule-of-law oversight.
Péter Magyar has been sworn in as prime minister of Hungary. Hungary's Viktor Orbán era is officially over.
I dream of the day we can say, America’s Donald Trump era is officially over.
And time for heads to roll. Show Americans, and especially the hapless Democrats, how it's done, please, as they are utterly useless as politicians as it stands.
I'm genuinely happy for Hungary. Nice to read some good news! Wish them prosperity & happiness.
Hope he’s like Zelenskyy Europe needs strong leaders that will continue to fight for the people they lead… Not get bored of the destruction that Trump wrought ALL by HIMSELF with a few “drunken leaders” Like Hegseth or any of Trumps collaborator
This is a very big deal.
Why can’t we have headlines like this?
Happy #EuropeDay… How ironic❣️ #EuroVision
Chalk one up for Democracy 2026!
Magyar, don't make the mistakes of the BIden-Garland era. Don't relax into normality. Fix the laws, the institutions, so that the fascists won't come back. Because they will try, every day.
Congratulations to the People of Hungary.
Do not doubt for a moment, however: Orban & Putin an are plotting his return to power - just like Trump.
Will the USA be able to follow in their footsteps? We no longer lead the world. We are a sad Republican shit-hole, slowly dragging our asses on the ground, living in the shame of stupidity, because there are so many ignorant Americans
not until he and the fascists who supported him are prosecuted and punished. put outside of society for the rest of their lives.
Yippee! Hope it happens in the USA soon. FDJT,FMAGAts, FTHERICH
Is Orban still in the country?
Good luck, Hungary. Enjoy your newfound freedom!
The Battle of Hungary has fallen in favour of democracy. Heed tho, the Forces of Darkness will observe, regroup, come back elsewhere.
Where is Victor? Is he at Marlago?
They showed us the power of the vote 🗳️! Remember we have the power! Stop discrimination and racism! Write ✍️ in the candidate Tennessee, South Carolina, Alabama, and all other states! Project 2026 !
#LockHimUp Seriously curious how this plays out 🤔
Now can we end the Trump/Republican American nightmare
🇭🇺 Péter Magyar will be elected Prime Minister of Hungary today at ~2:30pm, after MPs take their oath and the new parliament convenes. 👋 Viktor Orbán is no longer PM or MP. 🇪🇺 For the first time in over a decade, the EU flag will fly on the Parliament building in Budapest.
Time to visit Hungary again. Spent months there at the end of previous millennium. Lovely country, but didn't want to visit during corrupt Orban's regime.
Here’s hoping for a better future. Hungarians deserve it.
A sigh of relief is heard all over Europe. Welcome back.
Hopefully one day trump will be a memory.
❗️Viktor Orbán leaves office today after serving as Hungary’s prime minister since 2010, ending one of the EU’s longest-running premierships. #Hungary
He'll probably end up in Florida.
"after serving as Hungary’s prime minister AND Russian asset within the EU and NATO since 2010".
And the world is a better place.
Don't let him return - he will be a constant threat to Hungary's democracy, even behind the scenes.
That door should definitely hit him in the ass. Hey US real press .. hows Orban ?
Enjoy all your stolen property, Vik! While you still have it.
Confiscate his passport and freeze his bank accounts
A great day for democracy. cbwrong.blogspot.com?m=1
He'll soon appear in the US, where his children live...
Not straight to jail? C’mon Hungary, don’t be like America. Lock up your criminal politicians!
🇭🇺 Peter Magyar becomes Hungary’s PM What do you think about him? 👀
Hopefully his PM era will be remembered much better than Orbans. Odds are good for it at the moment 👍
Hope for anti-Putinist Hungary. That's the most important aspect.
I think Hungary gets one chance to clean out the septic tank blockage Orban created. That requires that there be some compromise from liberals. Let see how he progresses but let’s avoid infighting. That’s what Orban wants.
He is not a saint, but he does strike me as someone who actually wants to put Hungarians and their welfare first, and not himself.
I don’t know a lot because it’s so hard to keep up with everything.. but I read this ⬇️ and i was excited. Let’s hold hope in our hearts that these words he spoke were real and he meant them 👊 bsky.app/profile/catd...
Great that he has ousted orban, but politically, he comes from the same place! Hopefully he can keep away from the corruption of orban, and with russia weakening, won't be tempted by the easy route of being bailed out by putin if times get tough!!!
Looking at the broadcast, and seeing the fides not clapping is giving good vibes
