The Magyar government or Tisza government is the current government of Hungary. It is a single-party government composed of the Tisza Party and led by Péter Magyar, who became prime minister following the 2026 general election. Tisza currently enjoys a two-thirds supermajority in the National Assembly, which is the legislative threshold for amending the Fundamental Law of Hungary. It is notable for being the first non-Fidesz-led government in sixteen years.

History

On 9 May 2026 was the inaugural meeting of the National Assembly, officially ending the 16-year Orbán era. On the proposal of the winning Tisza Party, President Tamás Sulyok scheduled the event for a Saturday, thus allowing a large-scale national event in the capital to be held alongside the parliamentary events.

On the inaugural meeting, the President officially asked Péter Magyar to form the government. The National Assembly elected him the same day as Prime Minister, and Magyar immediately swore the oath of office. After his speech and the ceremony, the inauguration ended with a large celebration in front of the Hungarian Parliament Building.

On 12 May, Magyar's government was formed with sixteen ministers. He announced that the leaders of the health, justice, education and finance portfolios get a veto in the acts of the government. The next day, the government had its first seating in Ópusztaszer, which produced numerous decisions.

Members of the cabinet

Magyar's announcement of the members of his cabinet started from the week starting on 20 April 2026.

Magyar originally designated Márton Melléthei-Barna as Minister of Justice on 30 April; however, he withdrew from nomination on 7 May, citing conflict of interest, being Magyar's brother-in-law. Rita Rubovszky [hu] was originally intended by the Tisza Party to be Minister of Children and Education, but was ultimately not selected due to loud public disapproval of her nomination. Kriszta Bódis and Ervin Nagy had also previously been floated as potential Minister of Social and Family Affairs and Minister of Social Relations and Culture—given their works as experts for the Tisza Party in these fields—, but they ultimately received other government positions.

Notes

  1. ↑ Because magyar is also the endonym for Hungarian and without a way of verbally distinguishing between Péter Magyar’s personal name and the adjective magyar (in written Hungarian, only the personal name would be capitalized, allowing for differentiation there), some sources use "Tisza government" as the more specific descriptor. However, in some contexts, "Tisza government" may also refer to the premiership of Kálmán Tisza or his son István Tisza, two prime ministers of Hungary during the Dual Monarchy.
