Following the election of Peter Magyar as Hungary's new Prime Minister, LGBTQ+ rights advocates are hopeful for positive legal changes. While Magyar has been cautious on divisive issues, his centre-right government's rise signifies a potential shift from the previous administration's anti-LGBTQ+ stance.

The election of the Hungary's new centre-right prime minister, Peter Magyar, in April marked a particularly stinging defeat for Viktor Orban, whose government was widely regarded as one of the most anti-LGBTQ in the EU. Rights advocates expect legal changes but wonder about the timeline Magyar will adopt as the new prime minister remains cautious on divisive issues.
