Hungary's Prime Minister-designate Péter Magyar said on Wednesday that the country's president had assured him in a meeting that his new government could take power in the first week of May, an accelerated timeline for the end of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's 16-year reign.
Following Magyar and his centre-right Tisza party's landslide victory in Sunday’s election in which it won a two-thirds parliamentary majority, the opposition leader has pushed for the transfer of power to occur as quickly as possible.
