TL;DR

Hungary’s outgoing prime minister Viktor Orbán says he is relinquishing his seat in parliament after Fidesz’s defeat to Péter Magyar’s Tisza party in the April election. Orbán plans to seek reelection as Fidesz leader in June, with the party restructuring its parliamentary group under Gergely Gulyás. Péter Magyar is expected to be installed as prime minister in early May. The reshuffle could pave the way for swift reforms to unlock about €17 billion in EU funds tied up over rule-of-law concerns.
