Hungary

Hungary, under its new Prime Minister Péter Magyar, is currently a focal point due to significant political and international developments. Magyar's party secured a substantial victory, enabling them to pursue constitutional amendments and reforms initiated under the previous Viktor Orbán government. This includes efforts to remove President Tamás Sulyok, whom Magyar has labeled Orbán's "puppet." Domestically, lawmakers have voted to cut their own salaries by 40% to reduce administrative costs. Internationally, Hungary has lifted its veto on Ukraine and Moldova's EU accession process, following an agreement on minority rights, marking a potential breakthrough in strained relations. In a separate incident, charges were dropped against the Mayor of Budapest concerning a Pride march, despite previous government opposition to LGBTQ+ events. The country's football team was also in the news when a spider camera crashed during a match.
