Hungarian Prime Minister-elect Peter Magyar has announced that the blind Minister of Social and Family Affairs, Vilmos Kataj-Nemeth, will join his cabinet. This was reported by Bloomberg on April 24.

"Magyar plans to replace the all-male cabinet of the current Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban with a more diverse team of senior officials, seeking to completely break with his country's illiberal past," the article says.

According to the publication, Katai-Nemeth became blind at the age of 16. Local human rights activists hope that the presence of a person with a disability in a high position "will improve the understanding of such conditions in Hungarian society."

On April 12, Magyar announced the victory of his party in the parliamentary elections in Hungary. On April 14, local residents disapproved of the enthusiastic reaction of the West to the party's victory. It was noted that the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen and former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton voiced joyful comments on the occasion of the victory.

The National Electoral Bureau (NVI), after processing 100% of the votes on April 18, reported that following the results of the elections to the Hungarian parliament, the Tisa party won 141 out of 199 seats, the Fidesz party - 52 seats. When allocating seats according to party lists, Tisa has 45 seats, Fidesz has 42. The remaining six seats went to the far-right Nasha Rodina party.
