Hungary's Magyar party aims to form government by mid-May and unlock frozen EU funds

Thursday, 16 April 2026, 00:06 · 1 min read

Peter Magyar, leader of the newly formed Magyar party (a political opposition movement that emerged as a major challenger to Viktor Orbán's long-ruling Fidesz), has said he aims to establish a new government by mid-May following his party's victory in Hungary's recent parliamentary elections. Magyar indicated that reforms addressing corruption will be fast-tracked as a priority, with the goal of securing EU funds that Brussels has frozen over rule-of-law concerns. Unlocking the billions in withheld European Union payments would represent a significant economic boost for Hungary and signal a shift in the country's strained relationship with the bloc.
