(Redirected from Magyar government)

The Magyar Government or TISZA Government is the current Government of Hungary following the 2026 Hungarian parliamentary election, with Tisza Party leader Péter Magyar as its prime minister.[1] Magyar and the Tisza Party achieved a two-thirds supermajority, which is the legislative threshold to amend the Constitution of Hungary, also ending the 16-year Orbán era.

History

edit

On May 9th, 2026 was the inaugural meeting of the National Assembly, that officially ended the 16-year Orbán era. On the proposal of the winning Tisza Party, President Tamás Sulyok unusually scheduled the event for a Saturday. This made it possible, that alongside the parliamentary events, a large-scale national event could be implemented in the capital.

On the inaugual meeting the President officially asked Péter Magyar for the formation of the government. The National Assembly elected him the same day the new Prime Minister of Hungary. Péter Magyar immediately did the oath of office afterwards, something that has not happened on the day of the inaugural session in the history of Hungarian parliamentarism since 1990.

At the same time as the parliamentary acts, on Kossuth Square and the surrounding quays, an all-day mass event happened. After the political speech and the ceremonial moments the inauguration ended with a big-scale celebration in front of the Hungarian Parliament Building.

On May 11th, 2026 started the committee hearing of the ministers, that happened faster than the usual hearings. Prime Minister Péter Magyar announced that the leaders of the health, justice, education and finance portfolios would get a veto in the acts of the government.

On May 13th, 2026 the new government had its first seating in Ópusztaszer, which had numerous government regulations.

Magyar gave an ultimatum to the President (Tamás Sulyok), the President of the Curia (Zsolt András Varga [hu]), the presiding judge of the Constitutional Court (Péter Polt), the Chief Prosecutor (Gábor Bálint Nagy [hu]), the President of the State Audit Office [hu] (László Windisch [hu]), the President of the Competition Authority [hu] (Csaba Balázs Rigó [hu]), the President of the National Media and Infocommunications Authority (András Koltay [hu]), and the President of the Judicial Council [hu] (György Barna Senyei [hu]) to resign until 1 June. None of them did, but they can be removed from their positions through constitutional changes. Scholar Miklós Ligeti called this situation very similar to 1990, when constitutional changes removed communist officials.[2][3]

Composition

edit

Magyar's announcement of the members of his cabinet started from the week starting on 20 April 2026.

Magyar originally designated Márton Melléthei-Barna as Minister of Justice on 30 April[5]; however, he withdrew from nomination on 7 May, citing conflict of interest, being Magyar's brother-in-law.[6] Rita Rubovszky [hu] was originally intended by the Tisza Party to be Minister of Children and Education, but was ultimately not selected due to loud public disapproval of her nomination.[7]
