Magyar Unveils 16-Member Expert Cabinet Ahead of May 9 Swearing-In

On May 2, 2026, Péter Magyar announced his complete 16-member cabinet. Key appointments: Anita Orbán (no relation to Viktor Orbán) as Foreign Minister — ending the Szijjártó era's Eastern Opening; András Kármán as Finance Minister; István Kapitány as Minister for Economy and Energy; Romulusz Ruszin-Szendi (career military officer) as Defense Minister, signaling NATO recommitment; Zsolt Hegedűs as Health Minister. The expert-led cabinet structure departs sharply from Orbán's centralized model and is pre-briefed on all 27 EU 'super milestones' required for the €17B frozen funds deal.
