Introduction

Prime Minister Péter Magyar wants to make Hungary a democracy again after the April election.

Main Body

The Tisza party won the election. Viktor Orbán was the leader for sixteen years, but he is gone now. Prime Minister Magyar opened a big building called the Karmelita to the public. He says the people pay for this building with their taxes. The government wants to find missing money. They will start a new office. This office will look for public money that old leaders took. Hungary wants to be friends with the European Union (EU) again. The EU has 17 billion euros for Hungary, but they did not give the money before. Now, the EU flag is back on the Parliament building. This shows Hungary wants to work with other Western countries.

Conclusion

Hungary is removing old symbols and joining Europe again.
