United StatesHungary's new prime minister, Péter Magyar, took office in April on a platform of political renewal, anti-corruption efforts, and closer alignment with the European Union. His government faces a critical deadline of August 31 to meet 27 EU 'super milestones' related to anti-corruption and rule-of-law reforms. These reforms aim to address systemic issues in Hungary's governance, including weak state institutions and public procurement practices that favor politically connected businesses.

The EU has already suspended over €6.3 billion in development funding since December 2022 due to concerns over rule of law.
