DOMINANT ANGLE
London notes Budapest rejoining Europe — and Hungary's first-ever Roma deputy speaker.
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
ANALYSIS
London covers the event through the lens of democratic renewal and symbolic breaks: Magyar, 45, a lawyer, enters Parliament with his 140 elected members. In the new National Assembly, 54 women hold seats — more than a quarter of the total, the highest figure in Hungarian history. Krisztian Koszegi was elected Hungary's first-ever Roma deputy speaker. The new government's diversity and gender balance contrasts sharply with Fidesz's record. Sky News also notes Orbán's conspicuous absence from the chamber — for the first time since 1990, he is not among the elected members. He had announced he would not take his parliamentary seat and would focus on 'reorganising the national camp.'
