(Central News Agency, Budapest, May 9, Comprehensive Foreign Report) Hungary's new Prime Minister, Peter Magyar, was sworn in today. Zsolt Hegedus, a Member of Parliament expected to serve as his government's Minister of Health, once again showcased his exquisite dancing skills at the celebratory event, becoming the focus of attention and drawing continuous cheers and screams.
NDTV reported that after 45-year-old Peter Magyar was sworn in as Prime Minister of Hungary today, Zsolt Hegedus, a newly elected Member of Parliament and orthopedic surgeon, stole the show with his dance moves on the steps of the Parliament building.
With Magyar's inauguration, former Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's 16-year rule officially ended. Magyar's Tisza Party (Respect and Freedom Party) achieved an overwhelming victory in the April 12 general election, winning 141 out of 199 seats.
After his inauguration, Magyar posted on social media platform X, emphasizing: "I will not rule Hungary, but serve this country." He also promised that this would not just be a change of government, but a reform of the system, opening a new chapter in Hungarian history.
While Magyar expressed his political vision, Hegedus became a hot topic on social media. He had previously gone viral for his enthusiastic dance after the Tisza Party's victory. This time, he again displayed his superb dance moves on the steps of the Parliament building, making the atmosphere even more lively.
In videos widely circulated online, Hegedus danced to music in front of tens of thousands of Tisza Party supporters, with Magyar and other Members of Parliament clapping and applauding alongside him.
Hegedus is expected to serve as Health Minister in Magyar's new government. His video of dancing enthusiastically on election night in April has already attracted millions of views. However, today he performed an "encore" in front of a crowd waving Hungarian and EU flags in Kossuth Square, once again sparking discussion. (Compiled by: Hung Pei-ying) 1150510
