Hungary’s new leader, and what it means for Europe, with Shona Murray

While Irish minds were occupied with fuel prices and blockades
over the weekend a quiet revolution took place in Hungary.


The country’s leader for 16 years, Putin puppet Viktor Orban, was
ousted in a decisive election, to be replaced at the helm by his
former party colleague Peter Magyar.


But who is Magyar and what does this mean for Europe?


Euronews reporter and Irish Examiner columnist Shona Murray has
been following Orban for more than a decade – she's the guest on
today’s episode.
