The pro-European center-right leader, Péter Magyar, has been sworn in as Hungary's prime minister, marking the official end of Viktor Orbán's 16 years in power.

Saturday's ceremony, during which Magyar had invited people to join him in "writing Hungarian history" together and "passing through the gate of regime change," comes a month after his opposition Tisza party won a landslide victory in parliamentary elections.

The result caused jubilation in Budapest and beyond, as Orbán and his populist and nationalist movement had long been held up by the global far right as an example to be emulated.
