Hungarian opposition leader Peter Magyar, who defeated Viktor Orbán's party in the 12 April legislative elections, is pressing President Tamás Sulyok to convoke the new parliament as soon as possible — potentially on 9 May — so that deputies can formally elect him prime minister. Magyar is also unveiling key cabinet picks, including businessman István Kapitány, a former Shell vice-president, as energy minister, and diplomat Anita Orbán (no relation to the former prime minister) as foreign affairs minister. Political scientist András Bozóki of Central European University says the urgency reflects Magyar's concern that officials from the outgoing 16-year Orbán government may be destroying documents during any prolonged transition, and that a swift handover would also allow his team to begin negotiating with Brussels over the release of EU funds frozen under the previous administration.
