"Opposition Leader in Hungary Unveils Political Alternative to Orbán in Front of Massive Crowd"

Peter Magyar, a former insider of Hungary's ruling Fidesz party, rallied tens of thousands of supporters in Budapest, announcing the creation of a new political community aimed at uniting conservative and liberal Hungarians disillusioned by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's 14-year hold on power. Magyar, who has accused the government of corruption and cronyism, aims to bring about a moral, political, and economic transformation in Hungary, calling for fair elections and an end to what he sees as the erosion of democratic institutions. His rise has compounded political headaches for Orbán, who has faced resignations and economic crises, while the EU has withheld funding over alleged democratic backsliding.
