Public Prosecutor Peter Polt has turned to the President of the European Parliament, requesting lifting the immunity of MEP Peter Magyar, the leader of the opposition Tisza party, based on evidence that has surfaced against him in an investigation on suspicion of theft, the Public Prosecutor's Office said in a statement.
This month's flooding of the Danube will be remembered as one of the biggest floods in the history of Hungarian water management "in which we were in serious danger", the prime minister said in an interview with commercial broadcaster TV2 on Tuesday evening.
Tisza Party president Péter Magyar definitively rejected an invitation to appear on state TV on Thursday to engage in a discussion with the prime minister’s political director Balázs Orbán, saying it would be irresponsible while Hungary faces mass flooding.
A third-degree, highest-level flood alert is in effect along all sections of the Danube in Budapest from Monday, Gergely Karacsony, the city's mayor, has said.
