Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar touts economic and anti‑corruption gains after 50 days of Tisza government

Prime Minister Peter Magyar listed a series of achievements claimed for the first 50 days of the Tisza‑named government. He said the administration secured an agreement to bring back 6 trillion forint of EU funds, recorded the lowest inflation in years and noted that the forint had strengthened to its strongest level in five years.

He also reported cheaper financing for state debt, lower fuel prices, the launch of the "Tisztítótűz" anti‑corruption operation, and the upcoming creation of a National Asset Recovery and Defence Office. A new eight‑year limit for the prime‑ministerial mandate was adopted, and state assets previously placed in public‑interest foundations were reclaimed. Salary cuts for MPs, the prime minister and ministers were said to save at least 50 billion forint, while enforcement and evictions on foreign‑currency loans were halted.

Further points included investigations into major offences by the NER, disclosure of luxury investments, opening of the Karmelita and other ministries, moving the prime minister’s office to a simpler location, and renewed Visegrád cooperation. Rights for around 100,000 Carpathian compatriots were restored, independent media conditions were established, hate‑based political ads were banned, and separate ministries for education, health, environment and regional development were created. Hungary joined the European Public Prosecutor’s Office, remains a full ICC member, and announced reforms such as publishing pardon files, reviewing diplomatic passport issuance, and launching a multi‑billion‑forint hospital climate programme, along with preparations for a wealth tax and school‑start support.
