Hungary

Prime Minister Péter Magyar's government is set to completely restructure the national school district system, requiring all leadership positions to be re-applied for and transforming the Klebelsberg Center. This major reform initiative comes as new allegations of significant public fund expenditures surface, targeting former Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó for lavish spending on private jets, VIP lounges, and luxury hotels, and the Sovereignty Protection Office for billions spent on image campaigns.

Adding to the country's challenges, a third-degree heat alert has been issued nationwide, with authorities releasing lists of air-conditioned public spaces as workplaces struggle to cope with temperatures nearing 40 degrees Celsius. The environmental crisis has also directly impacted energy production, with the Paks nuclear power plant halving the operational capacity of its second block due to critically low Danube River levels.

Further domestic developments include a report on the alleged relocation of Roma communities from Kosice to Northern Hungary, significant changes anticipated in Mol's ownership structure with the end of the 'kekva' period, and the government's plan to shift legal costs to those initiating lawsuits against journalists and civic organizations. Meanwhile, Hungary's GDP saw a 1.7% growth in the second quarter.
