Peter Magyar Hungarian PM on May 9: Hungary enters an era of change without Orbán
Videos
Among the key changes is also a change at the post of Minister of Justice. Marton Melléthei-Barna, originally nominated and Magyar's brother-in-law, withdrew his candidacy on Thursday evening, citing as the reason that the justice portfolio is the most difficult office a prime minister can fill. In his place, Magyar presented on Friday Márta Görög, dean of the University of Szeged and a respected legal expert, whom he characterized as "the crowned queen of the Hungarian legal profession." Görög was nominated by Fidesz during the previous government, which according to analyses signals a degree of continuity with Orbán's system. novinky.cz ↗
The Tisza party is intensively preparing a dramatic political change, the scale of which has no precedent in Hungary since the change of system in 1989. The party plans to lead fourteen parliamentary committees, while the Fidesz-KDNP coalition will retain only four. Among Tisza's MPs is also Szilvia Gyurkó, who will serve as state secretary for children's rights and child protection at the Ministry of Social Affairs and Family. SITA ↗
Magyar met with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni in Rome, accompanied by future Foreign Minister Anita Orbán. The Italian press sees in Magyar "an early Barack Obama," signaling his perception as a modernizing leader. In an interview with the Italian press, however, Magyar stated that settling accounts with Orbán and the oligarchs of the NER system is not his task, but should be in the hands of judges. Chief Prosecutor Gábor Bálint Nagy, however, hinted at the possibility of recovering tens of thousands of millions of forints from the NER system. Index.hu ↗
Orbán, as outgoing prime minister, issued two more government resolutions in the final hours of his government, concerning the Ferencváros football club and development matters. His brother, Balázs Orbán, who was campaign director of Fidesz's unsuccessful campaign, is entering the National Assembly but will serve as a Member of the European Parliament from July. Also in recent days, a financial oligarch close to Orbán handed over his assets to the state, signaling concerns about a future reckoning. Onet Wiadomosci ↗
Political scientist Cas Mudde points out that although Fidesz faces a catastrophic defeat and Orbán has constitutionally lost power, the far right in Hungary as an ideological movement is not in decline. Telex ↗
