“The impasse was broken after Hungary elected a new leader.”
DISPUTED
While web search results confirm that a deadlock was broken to allow sanctions, the specific claim that it happened because 'Hungary elected a new leader' is contradicted by the provided Wikipedia evidence. Wikipedia indicates Viktor Orbán served as Prime Minister from 2010 to 2026, and while an election is mentioned for April 2026, the news reports on the sanctions do not explicitly link the breakthrough to a change in Hungarian leadership in the provided text; rather, they mention the deadlock ended. There is a conflict between the claim's specific cause and the timeline/details of Hungarian leadership provided in the references.
