BRUSSELS — Hungarian opposition leader Péter Magyar looks poised to win Sunday’s election and put an end to Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s 16-year rule. But even if he does, negotiations to unfreeze €17 billion in EU funding for the country won’t be easy.
On the campaign trail, Magyar pledged to quickly free up the EU payouts, which were blocked over Hungary’s democratic backsliding. That would allow him to reset Budapest’s relations with the bloc after years of bad blood bet
