Hungary braces for constitutional shake-up after opposition landslide

The opposition Tisza party won a two-thirds parliamentary majority, enabling constitutional changes to restore the rule of law and curb Viktor Orbán’s grip on power; Péter Magyar urged a peaceful transition and formation of a new government. The result signals a dramatic shift in Hungary with EU funds restoration and renewed support for Ukraine, but observers caution that illiberal governance could still stage a comeback.
