**Article:**
European newspapers see a major political shift in Hungary. After 16 years, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's time in power is over.
Analysts across Europe are calling the election victory of Péter Magyar a hopeful sign. This view comes from a summary of press comments compiled by Eurotopics.
The hope centers on three key issues for the European Union (EU). First, experts believe the rule of law within the bloc could strengthen. Second, they expect continued support for Ukraine. Finally, the EU's joint decision-making processes may improve.
The change follows years of tension between Orbán's government and other EU members. The international community is now watching Hungary's new political direction closely.
