Magyar Vows to Pivot Hungary Westward Amidst Tense Election Outlook
Hungarian opposition leader Péter Magyar launched his party’s campaign, vowing to restore Hungary’s Western orientation and restore the nation to European prominence. Magyar’s Tisza party, a formidable force against Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, aims to address economic issues, combat corruption, and re-establish stronger ties with the European Union. The party plans to retain some of Orbán’s policies, such as border security, while also seeking to unlock suspended EU funding and improve public services.
