To Viktor, no spoils: Hungary’s new start

Hungary’s political landscape faces a seismic shift as Viktor Orbán’s 16-year rule concludes following a decisive electoral defeat by Peter Magyar’s Tisa party. With a 77% voter turnout, the opposition secured a two-thirds parliamentary majority, signaling a public mandate to dismantle systemic corruption and reverse the country’s pivot toward Russia. Beyond domestic policy, this transition promises to reshape Hungary’s strained relationship with the European Union, potentially unfreezing billions in withheld aid. Meanwhile, British dairy farmers struggle with a volatile surplus caused by record-high production efficiency and declining domestic demand, forcing many to abandon the industry. In Cambodia, the legacy of war persists through millions of unexploded landmines; however, the deployment of "hero rats"—trained to detect explosives safely—continues to clear contaminated land, as exemplified by the celebrated contributions of the late Magawa.
