Latest News about Péter Magyar
Peter Magyar took office as Hungary's prime minister pledging to clean up the country's political and economic mess, aiming to revitalize the economy which has been stagnant since 2022 and improve relations with the EU while pursuing pragmatic ties with Moscow.
Péter Magyar was appointed Prime Minister of Hungary by the National Assembly on 9 May 2026 after his Tisza party won a landslide victory in the April 2026 parliamentary election, securing 138 seats and 53.6% of votes.
