In a lot of ways he has no choice. He's riding populism based on a crowd chanting "Russia Out". Orban has stacked the courts and government institutions, as well as insulating a lot of the right wing machine he created don't rely on funding Magyar can cut. Orban's family and cronies control most of the corporate monopolies in Hungary. This means trying to play by that book just doesn't work. So first thing he did was invite EU corruption investigators in, to go after people he will struggle to touch for some time. This also has the benefit of encouraging the EU remove the corruption related funding cuts that have seen $20billion+ in EU funding get withheld from Hungary.
This isn't hypothetical either, it's already started. Hence why Putin has already declared Hungary to be an on their unfriendly countries list.
Ironically Orban salting the earth on the way out means that if Magyar doesn't want to be a lame duck, he has no choice but to invite the EU in, along with the money that will come with that.

I think this is a serious concern. I thought Trump was politically dead after J6, and was facing serious legal issues. Four years later he was president again. I worry that the economic issues Orban's regime caused are extensive enough that people will forget. This victory was substantial and a definitive repudiation of the Orban era, but he was far more entrenched than Trump was and he was reelected. It's going to take a lot of work to fix the damage. I just hope that everyone is patient enough and don't end up pining for "better days."

They better be thorough about it. Russia has a strict 2-term limit and Putin has been in charge for 27 years. He evaded the first term limit by swapping the role of PM and President and running as PM (2008-2012). He evaded the second term limit by increasing terms from 4 years and 6 and claiming these 6-year terms are new and he hadn't served any of them (2012-2024). And he evaded the term limit a third time by changing something in the constitution and then claiming that new constitution = new country and thus term limits are reset. He can now stay in power until 2036. Yes, that's 37 years of Putin in a country that had a strict limit of two 4-year terms.

Yes, Tisza plans to introduce a U.S.-style rule limiting someone to serving as prime minister for only two terms.
They’re able to pursue this because they secured a two-thirds majority in parliament, which gives them the power to amend constitutional laws without needing support from other parties. This means opposition parties, including Orbán’s Fidesz, have no real influence over this decision.
As a result, Orbán would no longer be eligible to become prime minister again.
Péter Magyar mentioned this during a press briefing on Monday.
So this is not just my words.

The Biden admin could have pushed harder for prosecution and certainly could have been louder about the insurrection. However IMO the byzantine slowness of our system of law is more to blame. This administration is establishing a lot of precedent that the next liberal admin needs to take advantage of. Be ruthless. Move fast. Ignore court orders. Lock up political enemies, why the f*** not? We want the system fixed? Dems need to start playing the same game. Suddenly you will see a lot of reformists on the right.

Yes, but it looks like Russia themselves blew up their oil pipeline into Hungary, and threatened to sabotage their gas pipeline into Hungary.
Also, while Russia is selling oil at a discounted rate to Hungary, Hungary's oil firm is pocketing the savings and still making Hungarians pay a much higher energy rate.
So yeah, while Hungary is currently energy-dependent on Russia, it's also being used by Russia to hold Hungary hostage and seems to only fuel corruption at the expense of most Hungarians... pretty good reasons to break away from Russia if anything.

***The Telegraph reports:***
Hungary’s new prime minister has told Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine.
Péter Magyar said he would not be calling Donald Trump, the US president, and Putin, the Russian leader, after his election victory over Viktor Orban, but would speak to his predecessor’s allies if they wanted.
“If \[Putin\] does \[call\], I will ask him to please stop the killing and stop the war. I think that would be a very brief discussion,” Mr Magyar said on Monday in Budapest. “I hope he will be forced to stop the war soon.”
Mr Orban was defeated despite allegations of Russian interference and a visit from JD Vance, the US vice-president, in a bid to try to extend the former prime minister’s 16-year rule.
Hailing a “new era” following his landslide win, Mr Magyar said: “Our history is not written in Moscow, Brussels or Washington but on Hungarian streets.”
The prime minister said he would try to have a “pragmatic” relationship with Russia – which he called a “security risk” – but would try to wean Hungary off its dependence on Russian energy, suggesting some contracts could be renegotiated or cancelled.
**Full story:** [**https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2026/04/13/stop-the-killing-in-ukraine-new-hungarian-pm-tells-putin/?WT.mc\_id=tmgoff\_listnook\_new-hungarian-pm-tells-putin/&accesscontrol=facebookchannel\_open**](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2026/04/13/stop-the-killing-in-ukraine-new-hungarian-pm-tells-putin/?WT.mc_id=tmgoff_listnook_new-hungarian-pm-tells-putin/&accesscontrol=facebookchannel_open)

I personally find the math interesting so was plugging some random numbers into a calculator. It’d take 32,000 years of making $10 an hour and working 8 hours a day every day of the year to hit 1 billion.
Though if you were to take $1,000 and invest it with a 10% return per year (not too far off of return for investments over the last 50 or so years). It’d only take 145 years of letting it compound to hit 1 billion.
Just really shows the power of that compound growth. No amount of working hard can ever come close once it gets going.

Now, think about it. All the civilizations and stuff that's happened in the meantime, all those billions of lives and events and for each of those lives, battles, inventions, cities being built and destroyed, people being born and dying you're gaining $1 dollar a second and that would not be enough.

Makes you appreciate compound interest even more. Smart investing is the only realistic way to build large amounts of wealth. I’m not one to get caught up looking at how much others have, but looking at the ways you can apply it to your own life is a different story. Your job makes it to where you can survive. Investments make it to where you have a hope to retire.

Edit:
Yes, he’s conservative but there’s an endemic of more political leaders that are cozying up to dictators and tearing down their democratic institutions so that they can try turning their own governments into dictatorships.
So it’s really important that people who don’t support dictators and believe in true democracy are back in power regardless of whether they’re liberal or conservative.
Edit2: thank you for the comments and telling me more about his positions. I officially disavow my commment: “yes he’s a conservative but”.
His positions align towards mine in many ways, but after a few listnookors said “hold your horses he’s a conservative “ I mindlessly watered down my enthusiasm.
And also I agree that having actual fiscal conservatives in government isn’t necessarily a bad thing. A healthy diversity of ideas is what makes a democracy work.

Conservative, yes, but also for pragmatic reason. Being even accused of being "on the left" was a massive weapon in Orbán's propaganda arsenal. If you tell people often enough that is itself a bad, horrible thing, they'll believe it - so they did. In 2022, that's one thing the opposition did well: run a conservative, Christian candidate, so there's one fewer card to play against them. Didn't work then, but the approach was solid. (And I say this as a left-wing, liberal, atheist)
Right now the explicitly stated goal of Magyar is to get rid of Orbán, restore rule of law, and _then_ we can start campaigning for left, center, liberal, conservative, green, and a whole multitude of views - in a real democracy. But right now, a national conservative PM is how we can get there.

Magyar is not PM (yet)
Facts:
1.Tisza party has just won the elections big time.
2. The new gov will assemble soon.
3. The president must choose the PM, if he follows the traditions, the will be the leading party first candidate.
There is a long way down the road. Could be finished in some weeks. But it is usually takes a month.
Concerns:
! Orbán will block this process in every way. He is a mad trouble maker and might call some support from Russia.

Orban will not block it. The moment he does he will face the Hungarian population who just voted for Magyar. Source: I'm Hungarian

Wait, what? President **chooses** the PM or **confirms** the person chosen by the new gov?

It's a pretty crappy way of putting it, the President is more of a ceremonial role to be fair. They nominate the PM and ask them to form the new government. There hasn't been an example where this nominee wasn't the first candidate of the winning party.
Also our current President is literally ridiculed and called "A satchel of farts" by the opposition. He is a meaningless puppet, who has no power on his own. He might slow things down but the longer it takes the worse it gets for him (and Fidesz).

Okay, so it kinda sounds like the process in Poland? So basically the president can appoint in theory anyone (but it always has been chosen by the new gov) to form government.
If that person doesn't get a absolute majority (so even if people are not present during the vote it still has to be 50% + 1 of all seats) in approval vote in lower chamber then it's up to lower chamber select and vote (so basically anyone who has majority will just select who they wanted anyway). Is that the case?
Because if it is, the only thing president can do is make this process longer but they are basically politically done after that, pretty much a traitor going against the will of the people for mere few weeks of making the process longer than necessary

Peter Magyar? Isn't 'Magyar' the Hungarian word for Hungary?
Yeah I collected stamps when I was a kid. [Magyar always had nice looking and high quality stamps](https://www.hungarianstamps.co.uk/regency/1920/314.jpg) 😁
