Regime change in Hungary: What’s next for Péter Magyar and Viktor Orbán?

from The Global Agora · host Andrej Matisak

A new Hungarian government led by Prime Minister Péter Magyar will take office on May 9. What will be its primary focus during the first 100 days? Unfreezing EU funds and “de-Orbanization”? And what lies ahead for Viktor Orbán and his Fidesz after the crushing defeat delivered by Magyar’s Tisza party in the elections held on April 12? In this episode of The Global Agora, I speak with Zsuzsanna Végh, an analyst and program officer with the German Marshall Fund’s European Resilience Program in Berlin. Listen to our conversation.
