István Gyöngyösi, a Roma politician from a small Hungarian village, has made significant strides by representing Hungary at the Council of Europe, advocating for equal opportunities for rural communities. He emphasizes the importance of technology and education in bridging the urban-rural divide and calls for fair pay and human oversight in the age of AI.
The rise of Gyöngyösi’s Tisza Party follows a rejection of the previous government, with increased support from Roma communities seeking inclusion and political representation.
