After Viktor Orban, Hungary faces the challenge of restoring citizen trust

After six months in power, Hungary's civil society feels a sense of relief following Viktor Orban's regime. Representatives express moderate optimism about the new government led by Péter Magyar. They note a significant change in the atmosphere, no longer being labeled as "enemies of Hungary." Under Orban, NGOs faced smear campaigns and restrictive laws, particularly those advocating for human rights and minority rights, often funded from abroad. These organizations were branded as "foreign agents" and accused of being puppets of George Soros.
