Massive Protest in Budapest as Hungarians Rally Against Orban

Tens of thousands of protestors gathered in Budapest in support of lawyer Peter Magyar, a critic of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who plans to challenge Orban's leadership by forming a new political party. Magyar, a former insider, has gained prominence over a child abuse scandal involving Orban's ex-justice minister. The protest reflects growing discontent with Orban's government, with many expressing support for Magyar's initiative as a potential alternative to the current opposition. Orban is facing significant political challenges, including a recent scandal involving a presidential pardon for a convicted child abuser, as well as ongoing tensions with the EU and NATO over issues such as press freedom and ties to Russia.
