New Hungarian PM Péter Magyar in a new role: he was DJing for the crowd that gathered in front of the Hungarian Parliament to celebrate the end of PM Orbán’s 16-year-long regime and the inauguration of Magyar as the new prime minister.
On Saturday, Péter Magyar was sworn in as the new Prime Minister of Hungary. He had announced earlier that the event would be followed by a party in front of Parliament. As expected, tens of thousands of people gathered in the beautiful sunshine to listen to the new prime minister and celebrate together with him and the 140 other MPs of the Tisza Party, many of whom will soon serve as ministers or state secretaries in the new government.
According to Péter Magyar’s post, after signing the first documents in the Prime Minister’s office in Parliament, he descended from the first floor and went out to the cheering crowds to celebrate the end of the Orbán regime and the arrival of the new government.
Following the incoming health minister’s world-famous dance on stage and the spectacular reunion with the people who had gathered to celebrate their new “heroes”, the MPs of the Tisza Party, Péter Magyar stepped behind the DJ set, put on his headphones and played music for the crowd. One of the biggest Hungarian hits, Az éjjel soha nem érhet véget (“The night can never end”) by Soho Party, was played; it was the “official” anthem of the Hungarian football team when they emerged from the “group of death” at the 2016 European Championship.
