Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has effectively issued a death threat against Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, Péter Szijjártó, the foreign minister, declared at a public forum on Thursday in Sopron. "But Hungary cannot be blackmailed, no matter what threats are made," he said, adding that Zelensky had gone "beyond all limits".
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.
The criminal proceedings the opposition Democratic Coalition (DK) plans to initiate against the prime minister is "obviously nonsense in a legal sense", the head of the Prime Minister's Office told MTI.
Peter Magyar said in a statement on Wednesday that his opposition Tisza Party is opening up a graduated selection process for party officials, and he warned any self-appointed political wannabes not to try to latch onto the party.
