Challenger to Hungary's Orbán announces new political alternative to tens of thousands of supporters
apnews.com/article/hungary-orban-magyar-3a11b8bdee1e7e129214f167d9639b8b
Quick Glance: Challenger to Orbán Announces New Political Alternative
- A rising challenger to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán mobilized tens of thousands of supporters in Budapest on Saturday, outlining a plan to unite the country and bring an end to the populist leader’s 14-year hold on power.
- At the center of the demonstration was political newcomer Peter Magyar, a former insider within Hungary’s ruling Fidesz party, who announced the creation of a new political community aimed at uniting both conservative and liberal Hungarians disillusioned by Orbán’s governance and the fragmented political opposition.
- Magyar, once a member of Orbán’s political circle, broke ranks and has gained a large following by portraying Hungary’s political life as taken over by oligarchs and anti-democratic elites.
- He advocates for a transformation of the country to rein in corruption and create a more pluralistic political system, criticizing Orbán’s government as a 'mafia' and calling for a moral, political, and economic change.
