Orbán Challenger Promises New Era of Hungarian Politics at Massive Budapest Rally

commondreams.org/news/hungary-viktor-orban

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.

Oldest living conjoined twins, Lori and George Schappell, die at 62 in Pennsylvania

Quick Glance: World’s oldest conjoined twins, Lori and George, pass away at 62 years old

Twins George and Lori Schappell, previously holding the title as the world’s oldest living conjoined twins, have passed away.

On April 7, George and Lori passed away at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, as documented by Guinness World Records. The exact cause of death remains unknown.

Through exceptional schedule management and willingness to compromise, the siblings managed to harmonize life and passion. Lori worked in a hospital laundry unit, and George's musical performances occasionally took them abroad.

According to Mayo Clinic, conjoined twins form when an early embryo only partially separates to create two individuals.
