- Péter Magyar will attend the international premiere of 'Spring Wind – The Awakening' at the Riviera International Film Festival in Sestri Levante on May 5.
- Spring Wind – The Awakening has become the most‑watched Hungarian documentary, with 3.3 million YouTube views in two days and two weeks atop HBO’s ratings.
- Tisza Party secured 141 of 199 parliamentary seats in the April 12 election, the largest post‑Communist majority in Hungary’s history.
Why it matters: Péter Magyar’s Tisza Party, fresh with 141 parliamentary seats, gains worldwide legitimacy as the documentary’s 3.3 million‑view YouTube surge and May 5 Riviera premiere spotlight his mandate, while Viktor Orbán’s 16‑year tenure ends, shifting Hungary toward a more EU‑aligned stance.
