Péter Szijjártó

Péter Szijjártó is a Hungarian politician who has emerged as the likely successor to Viktor Orbán, the country's long-serving Prime Minister. With a supermajority of seats in parliament, Szijjártó plans to limit the number of terms a prime minister can serve to two, potentially ending Orbán's 16-year rule. Recent events include the discovery of explosives near a pipeline, which some attribute to Russian intelligence, and allegations of Russian meddling in Hungary's elections. The European Commission has urged an investigation into these claims. Szijjártó's rise to power is significant as it marks a shift in Hungarian politics and raises questions about the country's relations with Russia and Europe.
