The new Hungarian PM just went on state TV to announce the end of state TV and it’s a breathtakingly blistering watch
You will know by now there has been a historic changing of the guard in Hungary, where Viktor Orbán was turfed out of office despite – or perhaps because of – JD Vance turning up to lend him his support.
The new man in change, Péter Magyar, is not messing around – seriously not messing around – and turned up on state TV to basically announce the end of state TV, saying it was time to shut down its ‘North Korean-style propganda’.
Not often – in fact, surely the first time we’ve featured the Hungarian president on these pages, but it is two minutes exceptionally well spent.

This interview was an absolute masterclass from Peter Magyar.
The corrupt, Orban-regime propagandist who tried to play journalist got completely dismantled and annihilated, live on air.— Lajos Csillik (@lcsillik) April 15, 2026

Magyar has spent the last few days meeting with Orbanistas who lied about him and his family incessantly, blocked him from addressing the nation, and did their utmost to keep him from winning a fair election. From Hungary’s president — who must invite Magyar to form a government… https://t.co/6QsrLYwkCe

This sort of take no prisoners approach is the type of candidate Democrats need to nominate in 2028.
