From insider to challenger: Magyar bets on Europe to topple Orban

Peter Magyar, a former member of Viktor Orban’s inner circle who broke with the government over a pardons scandal, launches the Tisza party’s campaign as Hungary’s main challenger ahead of the April 12 parliamentary elections, arguing for closer EU ties and anti-corruption reforms while Orban warns of Brussels’ danger; the race centers on governing style, the economy, EU funds, and divergent Ukraine/Russia policies, with Magyar polling as the leading challenger.
