Hungary’s new Prime Minister Peter Magyar has moved out of the former government residence.

Axar.az reports that Magyar announced the decision on his Facebook account.

"As I indicated earlier, I will not move into the Carmelite Monastery.

The Prime Minister’s headquarters and the venue for government meetings will be located at 5 Alkotmany Street in Budapest.

Until now, the building served as the Ministry of Construction and Transport.

The building is just a few steps from Parliament, and it is symbolic that the Prime Minister’s Office will now be located on Constitution Street," the statement reads.
