Newly elected Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar arrived at the country’s parliament building on Saturday, May 9, and took his oath of office.

This is reported by Reuters, Ukrinform cites.

“Centre-right leader Peter Magyar was sworn in as Hungary's prime ⁠minister on Saturday,” the report says.

He assumed the position after winning on promises of change following years of economic stagnation and strained relations with key allied countries during the tenure of his predecessor Viktor Orbán.

As reported by Ukrinform, Hungarian election winner Péter Magyar announced that the official inauguration ceremony as Prime Minister would take place on May 9.

Hungary’s future ruling party Tisza plans to redirect €16.2 billion in EU defense loans away from companies linked to outgoing Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, aiming to accelerate access to these funds.
