Hungary’s Magyar Taps Blind Minister in Diverse Cabinet Drive

Hungary’s incoming Prime Minister Peter Magyar is planning to replace Viktor Orban’s all-male cabinet with a more diverse team of top officials as he looks to make a clean break with his country’s illiberal past.

Magyar announced on Friday that his cabinet will include a blind minister of social and family affairs and a female education minister, following his nomination in recent days of women to the roles of parliamentary speaker, foreign minister and caucus leader of his Tisza party.
