As Péter Magyar is set to become Hungary's new prime minister, with an astounding supermajority, FRANCE 24's Senior European Editor Armen Georgian is pleased to welcome Tamás Harangozó, Deputy Leader of the MSZP Socialists in Hungary's parliament. According to Harangozó, this election is nothing short of a collective civic awakening, whereby both citizens and lawmakers, across ideological lines, prioritise the country's future over traditional party divisions. For the deputy leader, we are witnessing a commitment to Europe over isolation and to democratic pluralism over autocratic rule.
