‘Clean break’ with Orban: Hungary’s Magyar to usher in ‘new era’
Europe
Pater Magyar was once part of Fidesz, so calling it a ‘clean break’ seems a bit rich. Let’s see if he actually dismantles Orban’s system or just rebrands it.
After all those years under Orban, it’s refreshing to hear a prime minister talk about a ‘new era’. I’m cautiously optimistic about Magyar’s first moves in office.
I’ll believe the ‘clean break’ when I see real policy changes. Orban’s cronies are still everywhere in government.
Zsolt Kerner from 24.hu is right—this is historic. But can Magyar really undo the damage to media freedom and EU relations?
Magyar’s swearing-in on Saturday feels like a turning point. I just hope he doesn’t become another Orban in disguise.
