Hungary's New PM Begins Hunt for Orban's Protégés, Analysts Warn of Fear
Hungary's new Prime Minister has already called for the president's resignation, signaling an intention to remove Viktor Orban's loyalists from power. Analysts suggest that those who benefited under the previous regime should be concerned.
Peter Magyar had only been Hungary’s prime minister for a few minutes on Saturday before he turned to the country’s president, renewing calls for him to resign. The move is the clearest sign yet that the new leader intends to make good on his promise to rid the country of Viktor Orban’s vast network of loyalists. Analysts say those who benefited from the former system should be “very afraid”.
