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.
The government is launching a new National Consultation, this time on the issue of economic neutrality, Prime Minister's Office leader Gergely Gulyas announced at a Wednesday press conference after the cabinet met on Tuesday.
