Hungary: Peter Magyar's election heralds thaw in EU ties
""With the two-thirds majority allowing us to amend the constitution, we will restore the system of checks and balances. We will join the European Public Prosecutor's Office and guarantee the democratic functioning of our country.""
""Tonight, truth prevailed over lies. Today, we won because Hungarians didn't ask what their homeland could do for them – they asked what they could do for their homeland.""
Peter Magyar won a significant victory in Hungary's elections, gaining 138 seats in parliament. His center-right Tisza party will implement reforms to restore ties with the EU and NATO, and combat corruption. Despite challenges from Orban's government, including media control and gerrymandering, voter turnout reached nearly 80%. Magyar emphasized the importance of democratic checks and balances and pledged to join the European Public Prosecutor's Office, marking a shift from Orban's authoritarian rule.
