PoliticsHungary elects Orbán critic as president. Can it roll back 16 years of Orbán-era rule?

Former judge András Baka has been elected Hungary’s new president in a vote boycotted by Viktor Orbán’s Fidesz party. His arrival comes as Prime Minister Péter Magyar seeks to remove Orbán-era loyalists from influential institutions. Magyar also wants to reverse years of political change associated with Orbán’s rule. The central question is how far Hungary’s new government can go in dismantling that legacy.
