Hungary's Magyar Government to Challenge $73B Orbán-Era Highway Concession

Hungary's new PM Peter Magyar announced the government will challenge a 35-year highway concession contract worth $73.3 billion signed under Viktor Orbán in 2022, citing risk transfer to the public sector. This is part of a broader dismantling of Orbán-era structures following Magyar's April landslide victory. The move signals a reversal of prior policy and potential fiscal/legal implications, though the contract's legal status and financial impact remain uncertain.
