About

Viktor Orban is a dominant figure in Hungarian politics since 1989, serving as Prime Minister for 36 years. Following his party's landslide defeat in the recent election, he announced his intention not to take up his parliamentary seat but wants to stay on as Fidesz leader to lead a process of renewal. This development is significant as it marks a shift in Hungarian politics and raises questions about the future of Orban's legacy. Recent events include Ukraine's hopes for restoring the Druzhba pipeline, EU court rulings against Hungary's LGBTQ law, and the election of Peter Magyar as the new Prime Minister, who has vowed to overhaul state media and suspend state news broadcasts.
