Hungary’s prime minister-elect Péter Magyar has vowed sweeping reforms after his centre-right Tisza Party won a landslide victory over Viktor Orbán’s long-time government.

He pledged to crack down on corruption, restore judicial independence, and reform media and state institutions to reverse what he called years of democratic erosion.

Péter Magyar also said his administration would pursue officials accused of mismanaging or “plundering” the country and create mechanisms to recover stolen public assets.

He promised constitutional changes, including term limits for prime ministers, which could block Viktor Orbán from returning to power, The Guardian has reported.

European Union leaders welcomed the result and signaled potential cooperation, especially on releasing frozen EU funds and restoring rule-of-law standards.
