Peter Magyar won the elections on Sunday, and by Tuesday he's already demanding the president's resignation and ignoring Orban. The Tisza party leader wastes no time - literally.
After meeting President Tamas Sulyok at Sandor Palace about forming a government, Magyar stormed out furiously and posted on Facebook: 'Tamas Sulyok must immediately leave his position after the new government is formed.' He called him unworthy of representing national unity and incapable of serving as guardian of constitutional order. A meeting about forming a government that ended with a resignation demand - that's Hungarian politics in 2026.
And the Orban moment? Magyar spotted the old prime minister on the adjacent balcony reading newspapers, waved at him - and Orban kept walking as if he didn't exist. The whole country is laughing, but the message is clear: Orban doesn't acknowledge defeat.
On Kossuth Radio, the interview turned into chaos. Magyar announced shutting down 'propaganda media,' a new media law, investigations into politicians' assets going back 20 years, and VAT cuts on energy. The host interrupted him, he interrupted the host - a classic day one after victory.
Magyar wants the lowest energy prices, hospital development, and a 'new Hungary.' He hasn't spoken with Zelensky yet - says he's formally not yet prime minister. Will he be different from Orban, or end up as yet another Balkan - that is, Central European - leader who promises change but delivers more of the same? We'll find out soon.
