Following a landslide election victory, Peter Magyar of the Tisza party is set to replace Viktor Orban after 16 years of Fidesz rule in Hungary. Magyar has outlined plans to restore relations with the European Union and implement domestic reforms. He intends to combat corruption by establishing new oversight bodies and will amend the constitution to limit future prime ministers to two terms. Magyar criticized Orban for abusing his power and failing to develop Hungary. Orban's pro-Russia foreign policy, which secured cheap energy, had isolated Hungary within the EU.
