Hungary's new prime minister Peter Magyar has vowed to restore democratic institutions and governmental checks and balances that were heavily eroded during Orban's rule, and to clamp down on alleged corruption.

Axar.az reports, citing CBS news, Magyar plans to establish a National Asset Recovery and Protection Office, an authority tasked with investigating and recovering public funds misused during Orban's tenure. He's also vowed to suspend the news services of Hungary's public broadcaster — widely seen as a mouthpiece of Orbán's party — until objectivity can be restored.

In his speech to lawmakers Saturday, Magyar referenced his intentions to hold former officials accountable for past abuses, saying voters had "given us a mandate to open a new chapter in Hungary's history."
