Hungary's Magyar outlines policy in first news conference
""If Vladimir Putin calls, I'll pick up the phone. It would probably be a short phone conversation and I don't think he would end the war on my advice. Russia remains a security risk.""
""We will do everything to restore the rule of law, plural democracy, and the system of checks and balances.""
""Hungary will not be the Trojan horse of Russia in the European Union nor NATO anymore.""
""I support Ukrainian EU membership, but would not support...""
Peter Magyar, Hungary's likely next prime minister, aims to shift the country's foreign policy away from Russia and improve relations with the EU. He emphasizes the need for EU funds amid financial struggles. Magyar intends to combat corruption and restore democratic principles, proposing a constitutional amendment to prevent Viktor Orban's return to power. He acknowledges the US as an important ally despite past tensions. Magyar's leadership marks a significant change from Orban's increasingly right-wing policies and skepticism towards the EU.
