Péter Magyar is sworn in as Hungary's prime minister, ending Viktor Orbán's 16-year rule
Péter Magyar was sworn in as Hungary's prime minister on Saturday, approximately one month after his Tisza party won a landslide parliamentary election. Tisza secured 141 of 199 seats in parliament, while Orbán's Fidesz-KDNP coalition fell from 135 to 52 seats. Orbán did not attend the inaugural session, marking the first time since 1990 he was absent from a Hungarian parliament opening.
