Following the end of Viktor Orbán’s 16-year era, Hungarian President András Baka has begun outlining a vision for democratic renewal on the international stage.

Addressing the United Nations General Assembly, Baka pledged to protect judicial independence, freedom of the press, and the rule of law, asserting that the state must serve all citizens rather than a specific political majority. He also condemned Russia’s war in Ukraine as a violation of the UN Charter.

In a subsequent address to the Arraiolos Group in Ljubljana, Baka reaffirmed Hungary’s commitment to the European Union and NATO. He emphasized the importance of democratic unity and reiterated Hungary’s support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, calling for a peace based on international law.
