Former Prime Minister Viktor Orban, the leader of opposition Fidesz, called on everyone to participate in Thursday’s demonstration in Budapest organised by his party "against autocracy," adding that former President Janos Ader will deliver a speech at the demonstration.
The Hungarian government will not block the start of European Union accession negotiations with Ukraine if Kyiv guarantees the rights of the Hungarian minority, Prime Minister Peter Magyar said in an interview published in the Thursday edition of French daily Le Monde, quoting remarks Magyar made to the newspaper during his visit to Paris the previous day.
Magyar is the most visible new face on Hungary’s political stage — a former Fidesz insider who turned into a high-profile opposition leader almost overnight. He now accuses the government of nepotism, misusing EU funds, and using state media for propaganda, advocating for policies to combat corruption and restore democratic institutions.
