Who is Peter Magyar, the man who challenged Viktor Orbán's long-term

Péter Magyar is a Hungarian conservative politician and MEP who has become one of the most important opposition figures in Hungary, after managing to seriously challenge the long-term rule of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.

He was previously part of Orban's Fidesz party and worked for more than two decades in diplomatic roles and in state institutions.

He became publicly known in 2024 after breaking away from Orbán, following a political scandal related to a controversial pardon in a case of abuse in a children's institution.

After this moment, he created his own political movement called "Tisza", which quickly gained great support in the country and achieved a significant result in the European elections.

In the recent parliamentary elections in Hungary, his party scored a landslide victory, capitalizing on widespread citizen dissatisfaction with corruption, a slowing economy, and problems in public services such as healthcare.

His campaign focused mainly on improving living standards and restoring better relations with the European Union.

However, Magyar has maintained a more cautious approach to sensitive topics like the war in Ukraine, focusing more on economic and institutional issues./ CNA
