What’s been like in the office of Antal Rogan, the ex-minister of Orban’s ex cabinet? Hungary’s PM @magyarpeterMP shares an inside look and argues that billions spent on government propaganda and political machinery could instead have gone toward healthcare reform in #Hungary.

#Hungary's foreign policy plan according to FM nominee @_OrbanAnita: Vetos won’t be used for "blackmail" but will remain an option if Hungarian interests are at stake. On #Ukraine: accession must be merit-based, no weapons or troops. On migration: strong border protection.

🇭🇺🎶 For the first time in Hungarian history, 'The forest is green / Pădure vergyé', the Hungarian Roma community's anthem—which gained that status after a 1993 civil rights protest—was played in parliament, at PM Péter Magyar's suggestion. Many MPs were in tears, and so was I.

🇭🇺🎧 Hungary’s new PM Péter Magyar DJ’d at his own inauguration party in front of Parliament. The Orbán era and its political culture (smear campaigns, fearmongering, hatemongering etc) is gone for good. The latest poll puts Magyar’s Tisza party at 70%. 🎥@telexhu

Hungary’s new PM @magyarpeterMP calls for dialogue across party lines, he calls for openness “We will need it in the coming years”, he says. “This is the first day of a democratic #Hungary”, he concludes and “we should finally be happy”. @dwnews

“I am sorry,” @magyarpeterMP tells journalists and all who suffered under the Orban system for “daring to speak up” and being branded enemies by the former government. The new government will be also judged by how much #PressFreedom it restores in #Hungary. @DeutscheWelle

#Breaking ‼️@magyarpeterMP officially elected and sworn in as Prime Minister of #Hungary! The first person to gratulate from the old system: President Sulyok, whom the Hungarian PM wants gone due to his pro-Fidesz links. Follow @dwnews

„Habemus new Hungarian Prime Minister“ - @magyarpeterMP is officially sworn in today as new Parliament convenes. What this means to me, and how that’s connected to my Dad’s orange Skoda in 1990, read here: shorturl.at/lOzcB @DeutscheWelle #Hungary

“If you are drowning, you will reach out to anyone who might rescue you - even if they have let you down before”, an Iraqi Kurd told us. Renewed fighting or as one analyst told us “a long Cold War” between Iran and the USA(+Israel)? (2/2) @DeutscheWelle youtu.be/nqlJravMFbM

‼️Many #Kurds have placed their hopes in the United States before, only to see those expectations unravel when strategic interests took precedence. Most recently in Syria, Kurdish groups lost significant territory following shifts tied to the post-Assad landscape. (1/2)

High-level figures close to Orbán have been looking into US visa options, hoping to find work at Maga-linked institutions. // w @ashifa_k theguardian.com/world/2026/apr…

Left: 24-year-old me, a journalist when Orbán was in opposition.
Right: 45-year-old me, still a journalist—two days before he’s there again. Between those moments: lots of work, lost jobs, closed papers, smear campaigns. And yet, we are still here. That’s all that matters.

Viktor #Orban’s post-defeat interview in a nutshell: he admits to feeling “pain and emptiness,” yet vows to rebuild, while labeling Tisza supporters as “globalists” and “pro-Brussels,” and repeating divisive campaign lines about “war and peace.” #hungary

No way 😂 You couldn't get away with this plot development in an airport paperback.

Trump needed two days to express support for incoming PM @magyarpeterMP. Trump tells ABC News reporter he was not concerned about Orban's loss in #Hungary reuters.com/world/trump-te…

❗️Incoming @magyarpeterMP has just concluded a tense interview on Kossuth Radio, “public broadcaster” aligned with the government. During the interview Magyar called on President Sulyok - often viewed as an Orban ally - to resign. Both meet today. #Hungary @DeutscheWelle @dwnews

It took one and a half years and an election victory for ➡️Péter Magyar to be invited to state media ➡️state radio to start playing "a larger variety of music" ➡️state TV to air Magyar's presser ➡️Fidesz politicians to give interviews to independent media And it's only Tuesday.

#Hungary is blue. The color of change in the country: @magyarpeterMP’s Tisza party wins the Hungarian election with overwhelming supermajority. Orban‘s 16 year will officially end when new Parliament convenes in May. @DeutscheWelle @dwnews
