Hungary has entered a new political chapter after Peter Magyar's landslide election victory on April 12 . In Budapest, young voters have described a rare moment of unity and hope after the end of Viktor Orban 's 16 years in power. Backed by a two‑thirds majority, Magyar has pledged to restore the rule of law, fight corruption and reset ties with the European Union to unlock frozen funds. Experts warn, however, that Orban-era institutions and media structures could still block key reforms.
