Peter Magyar, Hungary's newly sworn prime minister, called for the country's president to resign minutes after taking office Saturday, according to France 24.
The move marks the clearest indication yet of Magyar's intention to dismantle Orbán's political machine and remove his loyalists from positions of power.
Magyar's swift action signals a significant political break from Viktor Orbán's decade-long dominance and suggests sweeping institutional reforms ahead.
Hungary's new PM Peter Magyar called for the president's resignation within minutes of taking office, signaling an aggressive purge of Viktor Orbán's political network. The move represents the sharpest break from Orbán's 12-year grip on power and suggests Magyar intends to systematically dismantle his predecessor's institutional control.
If Magyar follows through on dismantling Orbán's political machine, Hungary's business environment, EU relations, and judicial independence could shift dramatically—affecting everything from foreign investment to mortgage rates and labor regulations for workers and companies operating there.
