Tisza Party

The Tisza Party, a center-right, pro-European organization led by Prime Minister Péter Magyar, has recently come to power in Hungary, ending Viktor Orbán's 16-year tenure. The party secured a significant two-thirds majority in the National Assembly following a landslide victory in recent parliamentary elections. This strong mandate allows them to enact constitutional amendments and dismantle Orbán-era policies. Key recent developments include moves to amend the constitution to limit prime ministerial terms to eight years, effectively barring Orbán's return, and initiating the process to remove President Tamas Sulyok, whom they label Orbán's 'puppet'. The Tisza Party has also reversed Orbán's decision to withdraw Hungary from the International Criminal Court and has apologized for state wrongs committed during the previous administration. Their rise signifies a new era for Hungary, marked by a symbolic return of EU flags and anthems, and a focus on addressing past injustices.
