Magyar made a strategic break with Russia | News In Depth
One hundred days have passed since Péter Magyar became Hungary’s prime minister. “He’s done pretty well,” says Stuart Dowell, Political Editor at TVP World, in News in Depth. “During his first hundred days, he has pushed hard to dismantle and break apart elements of the political system created by Viktor Orbán,” he adds. Those elements include the judiciary and the oligarchic networks built under the previous government. Magyar has also overseen the appointment of a new president. Other major challenges facing his government include the ongoing drought crisis and the effort to unlock EU funds for Hungary.
Many have wondered whether Hungary would truly distance itself from the Kremlin’s influence. “Magyar has made a strategic break with Russia,” Dowell argues.
Join Ashim Kumar and his guest as they discuss Magyar’s first 100 days in office, the dismantling of Viktor Orbán’s political system, Hungary’s battle to unlock EU funds, the impact of the drought crisis, and Budapest’s strategic break with Russia.
