Magyar: Hungary will once again be a strong ally in the European Union and with NATO

Hungary's incoming Prime Minister Péter Magyar said the country will once again be a strong European and NATO ally as he vowed to restore its place in Europe.

Magyar was speaking in central Budapest in front of thousands of supporters after securing a landslide victory over Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s Fidesz Party.

"Hungary will once again be a strong ally representing Hungarian interests, because our country's place is in Europe," Magyar said.

He added that his first foreign trips will be to Warsaw and Vienna, after which he will visit Brussels in a bid to persuade the EU to unlock billions of euros in frozen funds.
"We will bring home the EU funds that are due to the Hungarian people," he said.
