Magyar Moves to Dismantle Orban’s Network, Sets May Deadline for Loyalists

TL;DR Summary
Hungary’s new prime minister Peter Magyar pledges to dismantle the Orban-era patronage network, ordering resignations of Orban-appointed figures in the judiciary and oversight bodies by May 31 and signaling constitutional changes if needed; the aim is to curb corruption and end the so-called 'opposition-proof' state. Early moves include pressure on allied figures, with reports of asylum-seeking associates like Poland’s Ziobro, and potential scrutiny of influential businessmen tied to the old regime, as Magyar and his allies seek to realign Hungary’s political and regional ties within the Visegrad framework.
