Hungary’s incoming PM Péter Magyar said he would work towards national reconciliation and be a leader for all.
Magyar said he would visit Brussels in a bid to get billions in frozen EU funds unlocked and vowed to restore system of checks and balances.
He said that the Central European nation would once again be a strong European and NATO ally.
He spoke after in central Budapest to thousands of supporters after securing a landslide victory over Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s Fidesz Party.
“Hungary will once again be a strong ally representing Hungarian interests, because our country’s place is in Europe,” Magyar said.
“We will bring home the EU funds that are due to the Hungarian people,” he said.
“We will restore the system of checks and balances. We will join the European Public Prosecutor’s Office. We guarantee the democratic functioning of our country.”
he called on Hungarian President Tamás Sulyok to resign immediately and urged other government officials appointed by Orbán to step down.
“I call on the President of the Republic to immediately ask the winner to form a government and then leave office. I call on all the puppets who have been in power for the past 16 years to do the same,” he said.
