Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar’s new government is moving quickly to dismantle the system associated with former Prime Minister Viktor Orban, in what it calls “Operation Purgatory.” In the early period after taking office, Magyar lifts EU-related blockades that were introduced by Orban, and opens a dialogue with Ukraine, which Orban had previously denounced. Domestically, Parliament approves changes that include salary cuts for lawmakers and ministers and limits the prime minister’s time in office to a maximum of two terms. Analysts and observers cited in reporting describe these measures as part of a broader effort to break with Orban-era practices and symbols. Deutsche Welle reports that the government’s agenda centers on tackling corruption, reforming the media, and protecting democracy. Across the accounts provided, the common theme is that Magyar is pursuing rapid institutional and policy changes intended to reshape governance and reduce elements perceived as associated with Orban’s rule, while also adjusting Hungary’s stance in regional relations.
