In his debut, P Magyar promised a shift in both tone and content, a return to consensus, and a return to the conservative center of Europe.We’ll take a new approach to representing Hungary. We won’t agree on everything, for sure. One thing I can guarantee is that I will only act in Hungary’s and the Hungarian people’s best interests. When Magyar arrived at the conference in Brussels on Thursday, he told reporters, “We will not oppose or veto proposals for domestic political or party-political reasons.”
Additionally, he attended a meeting of the European People’s Party, where he met with Roberta Metsola, the president of the European Parliament, Manfred Weber, the president of the EPP, and Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis. Unlocking frozen funds and mending Hungary’s ties with the EU were key components of Magyar’s election campaign. He has worked quickly to settle the majority of the unresolved issues with Brussels since assuming office in early May.
He and Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, came to a political agreement in late May to unfreeze €16.4 billion in previously blocked funding. Orbán’s long-standing opposition to Kyiv’s membership request, which he claimed would jeopardize European security and economic interests, was reversed shortly after Hungary dropped its veto on starting the first round of Ukraine’s EU accession negotiations.
