Hungary's Péter Magyar has taken his oath of office to become the country's new prime minister, ending Viktor Orbán’s autocratic 16-year rule. Magyar's center-right Tisza party defeated Orbán’s nationalist-populist Fidesz in a landslide win last month. On Saturday, Magyar entered parliament with 140 other Tisza representatives, controlling 141 of 199 seats. Orbán’s coalition now holds 52 seats. Magyar, a former Orbán insider, has vowed to tackle corruption and unlock frozen European Union funds to boost Hungary’s economy. He promises to repair ties with the EU and restore Hungary’s place among Western democracies.
