Fidesz party

Hungarian public broadcasters linked to Viktor Orban have stopped broadcasting under Prime Minister Peter Magyar's government, aiming to restore media independence. Kossuth radio and M1 TV halted transmissions, with M1 displaying a message apologizing for past misinformation. Orban criticized the move, urging viewers to watch his party's channel instead.

Hungary’s Prime Minister Péter Magyar plans to amend the constitution to remove President Tamás Sulyok, appointed under former leader Viktor Orbán, as part of efforts to dismantle Orbán’s political system. Sulyok refused to resign by Magyar’s May 31 deadline, prompting the government to initiate removal procedures. Opposition figures and Sulyok’s office criticized the move as a misuse of authority and a threat to constitutional norms.

Hungarian police will allow the Budapest Pride parade in June, reversing a decision from last year when the event was blocked under Viktor Orbán's government. The policy shift follows the rightwing nationalist government's removal from power in April after 16 years in office.

Hungary's new government led by Péter Magyar has proposed a constitutional amendment limiting prime ministers to a maximum of eight-year terms, effectively preventing former leader Viktor Orbán from returning to office. The draft amendment was submitted shortly after Magyar's government took office and represents the first step in dismantling Orbán's heavily amended constitution. The move marks a significant shift in Hungarian governance following years of constitutional changes under Orbán's Fidesz party.

Hungary's new Prime Minister Péter Magyar apologised to those wronged under Viktor Orbán's rule, marking a different tone in his first speech. Questions remain about his leadership as Hungary enters a new era. Magyar addressed those who suffered for speaking out against the erosion of rights under Orbán.

Viktor Orbán's potential defeat could disrupt Hungarian support for the populist right in UK politics. British figures like Matt Goodwin, David Frost, and James Orr have benefited from Orbán's 'illiberal democracy' policies through his Fidesz party's backing of hard-right British conservatism.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán conceded defeat in parliamentary elections on April 12, ending his 16-year tenure as his Fidesz party lost its majority. The center-right Tisza party, led by Péter Magyar, won a projected two-thirds supermajority and campaigned on anti-corruption, economic improvement, and closer European alignment.
