"Rising Orban Opponent Vows to Reclaim Country"

Peter Magyar, a rising challenger to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, mobilized tens of thousands of supporters in Budapest, outlining a plan to unite the country and end Orban's 14-year hold on power. Magyar, a former insider within Orban's party, has accused the government of corruption and cronyism and announced the creation of a new political community to run in upcoming elections. Critics accuse Orban of eroding democratic institutions, and the EU has withheld funding over alleged democratic backsliding and misuse of funds.
