Event Summary

On July 10, 2026, Hungary's government, led by Prime Minister Péter Magyar, submitted a bill to parliament to create the National Asset Protection and Recovery Office, an independent anti-corruption body. This fulfills a campaign pledge to investigate alleged graft under former Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who denies corruption. The office aims to uncover past abuses and prevent future violations, with a president and four deputies (three prosecutors) appointed by parliament. The same day, the International — European Commission announced Hungary would join the European Union — European Public Prosecutor s Office (EPPO), and the Council of the European Union approved Hungary's national recovery plan, unlocking approximately €10 billion ($11.43 billion) in EU funds previously withheld due to corruption concerns. Magyar hailed these developments as a trio of achievements.
