Germany's Merz backs Hungary's new pro-EU course

After Peter Magyar's April 2026 election victory over Viktor Orban's Fidesz party, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz pledged full support for the new Hungarian prime minister's efforts to steer Hungary back into the EU mainstream, calling him a "beacon of hope" for Hungarians. While Magyar has promised to be an honest and reliable EU partner and avoid principle-based vetoes, he has signaled a partial shift on Ukraine policy—refusing to send weapons or troops, and planning to block EU accession talks for Ukraine until ethnic Hungarian minority rights in Transcarpathia are addressed, though he anticipates a breakthrough soon with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
