Péter Magyar took the oath of office Saturday afternoon at the constituting session of the Hungarian Parliament in Budapest.
The transition marks a historic power shift in Central Europe, ending the long-term administration of Viktor Orbán.
Magyar officially became the new head of government during the parliament's opening session. The ceremony took place within the Hungarian Parliament building, where the new prime minister assumed his duties for the first time.
This change in leadership follows a period of significant political transition. The shift concludes a tenure by Viktor Orbán that lasted 16 years [1].
Magyar now leads the government as the country enters a new legislative cycle. The swearing-in process is the final formal step in the transfer of power following the election results.
Observers said that the event signifies a departure from the previous era of governance. The constituting session serves as the official start of the new parliament's work under Magyar's leadership.
