Péter Magyar, whose Tisza Party won 138 of 199 seats on 12 April , announced a "government of experts" and confirmed the new national assembly will Convene on Saturday 9 May 1. The constitutional deadline for the first session is Tuesday 12 May . Magyar is targeting the first week of May for government formation. Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic were excluded from the EU's joint borrowing mechanism for the €90 billion Ukraine loan.
The veto broke on Wednesday 22 April; the funding question past mid-May did not. Magyar's MEPs voted against the loan in Strasbourg even as his predecessor's veto was removed in Brussels. His platform commits Hungary to a national referendum on Ukraine's EU accession. The Tisza supermajority gives the incoming government constitutional-rewriting authority over the Hungarian basic law, over Fidesz appointees in courts and state media, and over the veto Budapest chooses to cast on successor EU packages. Removing the Council veto on this loan is one vote a new Budapest government will cast; funding Kyiv past mid-May, and past a later accession plebiscite, is a separate calculation.
The disbursement geometry has shifted accordingly. European Commission officials had said funds could flow within days once the veto lifted, but the Council vote has to be re-staged after Hungary formally changes its position, and analysts now place first disbursement in June at the earliest. Anita Orbán is reported as the frontrunner for the Hungarian Foreign Ministry under the Magyar cabinet, a signal that the ministerial pick is the variable that will show whether the Tisza majority delivers continuity with parts of the Orbán-era administrative apparatus or a clean EU-facing break. The veto is lifted; the funding calendar is not.
