Peter Magyar Leads Massive Anti-Orban Protests in Hungary, Plans New Political Party

Thousands rallied in Budapest against Prime Minister Viktor Orban's government, spurred by whistleblower Peter Magyar's allegations of corruption.

Peter Magyar, a former government insider and ex-husband of Orban's ex-justice minister, led a significant protest in Budapest, drawing thousands in opposition to Prime Minister Viktor Orban's government.
Magyar announced his intention to launch a new pro-European Union political party, aiming to unite Hungarians disillusioned by Orban's rule and the fragmented opposition.
Protesters, many donning the national colors, voiced demands for Orban's resignation and expressed support for Magyar, citing his insider knowledge of government corruption.
Magyar has become a prominent figure since February, following his public disclosures about corruption within Orban's administration, including a recording that allegedly demonstrates interference in a corruption case.
The protests and Magyar's rising prominence come at a politically sensitive time for Orban, ahead of European parliamentary elections and amid scandals that have weakened his government's standing.
