Hungary's Peter Magyar wins supermajority, calls for early parliament convening
Peter Magyar's Tisza party won a supermajority in Hungary's Sunday elections, according to Al Jazeera. Magyar called on the president to convene parliament early to accelerate government formation. The result represents a significant political shift in Hungary, a European Union and NATO member state. The outcome could reshape Hungary's political direction after years of Viktor Orbán's dominance.
