A wave of high-profile changes and unfolding investigations dominate the agenda. The chief prosecutor Nagy Gábor Bálint has resigned amid questions about leadership of the public prosecutor's office, triggering talk about succession and reforms at the top of Hungary's judicial system.

Separately, corruption probes expand: the NKA case sees new detentions and inquiries, signaling a broader crackdown that touches various actors linked to procurement and party factions, alongside fresh developments in the BYD-related case and a look at a controversial metro extension plan.
