Leader of the opposition Tisza Party Peter Magyar "had no ideas or convictions; he didn't want change in the country," the politician's former partner, Evelin Vogel, told news portal Index in an interview published on Wednesday, adding that people did not see the real Magyar as "he is not what he seems".
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.
The upper section of the Danube is fast receding, and 510km were being protected on Monday, 200km less than the previous day, Prime Minister Viktor Orban told a press conference.
Budapest has "passed the flood defence test", Gergely Karacsony, the city's mayor, told a press conference held near the River Danube on Saturday.
