Hungary's incoming Tisza government will retain all effective existing policies, as outlined in its 240-page platform, Peter Magyar, the party's leader, said in an interview to public media on Wednesday.
Peter Magyar, the leader of the Tisza Party, on Wednesday said President Tamas Sulyok will formally invite him to form the next government. Magyar met the president after Sulyok invited the leaders of the parties with mandates in the new parliament to attend talks at Sandor Palace.
Tisza has won convincingly, with 138 seats in Hungary’s 199-seat parliament, securing a two-thirds supermajority. Fidesz falls to 55 seats, and will serve as the main opposition party. DK failed to win a single seat, and Klára Dobrev resigned as party leader.
JD Vance said, straight after talking about an unprecedented level of foreign interference in the Hungarian election campaign, “I’m here to help him (Orbán) in this campaign cycle”.
