An Expected Minister’s Dance Goes Viral After Magyar’s Inauguration

Zsolt Hegedus may be Hungary’s new Minister of Health, but in the last few hours he has become famous around the world for an entirely different reason: his wild dance on the steps of the Hungarian Parliament, right after the inauguration of new Prime Minister Peter Magyar.

Videos of Hegedus dancing in front of a crowd of Tisza party supporters flooded social media, turning it into a viral phenomenon within hours. International media described the scene as “historic” and “rare on Europe’s political record”, as the Hungarian politician appeared to celebrate with great enthusiasm the sweeping victory that ended Viktor Orbán’s 16-year rule.

Hegedus does not come from the traditional party machinery. He is an orthopedic surgeon with many years of experience in the British National Health Service, and in recent years he has emerged as one of the strongest voices in favor of reforming the Hungarian health system. He has actively participated in campaigns against corruption in the health sector and in favor of removing “files” in hospitals.

The image of him dancing in front of the parliament in Budapest has become a symbol of political change in Hungary. In videos that have been published on YouTube, Instagram and international news agencies, Hegedus appears to lead the crowd into a festive atmosphere as thousands of citizens celebrate the victory of the Tisza party.

Magyar’s victory is considered a political earthquake for Europe, as it marked the end of the Orbán era and Hungary’s return to a more pro-European line, according to analysts and international media. /tesheshi
