00:00Peter Maggia, Hungary's next prime minister, has outlined sweeping changes after ending Viktor Orban's 16-year rule in a landslide
00:09election victory.
00:10With nearly all votes counted, Maggia's center-right Tiza party is set to secure a two-thirds majority in parliament,
00:18giving it the power to make sweeping changes.
00:21Orban has conceded defeat and congratulated his rival.
00:30Tiszaim, Magyarok, megcsináltuk.
00:44A Tisza és Magyarország megnyerte ezt a választást.
01:04The 45-year-old Magyar only entered the political scene two years ago, campaigning on anti-corruption and better public
01:12services, and gaining support amid economic stagnation.
01:15Speaking to supporters in Budapest, he said his first trips abroad will be to Warsaw, Vienna and Brussels, where he
01:23plans to push the EU to release billions in frozen funds and restore checks and balances at home.
01:30He also pledged to join the European Public Prosecutor's Office to tackle cross-border financial crime.
01:36Orban had maintained close ties with Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, often putting Hungary at odds with the EU and
01:43Ukraine.
01:45Magyar, by contrast, has promised to realign Hungary more closely with Europe and Kyiv.
01:50He also promised accountability and reconciliation, and called on state and judicial leaders to resign in his victory speech on
01:59Sunday.
