Mass protest against Viktor Orbán: Tens of thousands of Hungarians demand new elections in Budapest

berliner-zeitung.de/news/massenprotest-in-budapest-gegen-viktor-orban-li.2203409

Quick Glance: Challenger to Orbán Announces New Political Alternative

A rising challenger to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán mobilized tens of thousands of supporters in Budapest on Saturday, outlining a plan to unite the country and bring an end to the populist leader’s 14-year hold on power.

At the center of the demonstration was political newcomer Peter Magyar, a former insider within Hungary’s ruling Fidesz party, who announced the creation of a new political community aimed at uniting both conservative and liberal Hungarians disillusioned by Orbán’s governance and the fragmented political opposition.

Magyar, once a member of Orbán’s political circle, broke ranks and has gained a large following by portraying Hungary’s political life as taken over by oligarchs and anti-democratic elites.

He advocates for a transformation of the country to rein in corruption and create a more pluralistic political system, criticizing Orbán’s government as a 'mafia' and calling for a moral, political, and economic change.

Magyar, ex-husband of former justice minister Judit Varga, launches a movement aiming to become a political party in Budapest, Hungary.

Magyar becomes a significant government critic, particularly targeting Orban’s close aide Antal Rogan, following the resignations of his ex-wife and the then-president due to their involvement in a controversial pardon case at a children’s home in Budapest.

Magyar shared the latest corruption evidence on Facebook and also provided it to prosecutors, originating from a recorded conversation at home with his ex-wife Judit Varga in January 2023 when she was serving as the justice minister.

Quick Glance: NATO Considers Taking Action Against Russian Missile Threats - Polish Foreign Ministry

An option being discussed involves NATO potentially taking action against Russian missiles heading towards the North Atlantic Alliance territory.

The violation of Polish airspace by a Russian missile over the weekend was seen as a test of the strength and vigilance of the Polish Armed Forces, according to Poland's Deputy Foreign Minister Andrzej Shejna.

Shejna emphasized the importance of Russia not imposing rules on the Alliance and stated that NATO will assert its position in resolving the conflict in Ukraine.

Poland's Minister of National Defence, Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, mentioned that Poland would have responded by downing the Russian missile if any indications pointed towards a target within Polish territory.

She confirmed to aides that she had doctored the image, 'and is understood to have thought that honesty is the best policy. She wanted to own up and acknowledge the mistake.'

After photo agencies disassociated from the image, Kate appeared in public with her husband to convey that all is well, which led to further speculation about her situation.

The discussions surrounding Kate's health and marriage intensified due to the doctored image, and the palace's communication seemed chaotic, fueling increased public curiosity.

Quick Glance: Sweden's NATO Accession Highlights Putin's Failure

NATO Chief Jens Stoltenberg stated that Sweden joining the US-led alliance demonstrates Russian President Vladimir Putin's failure in his Ukrainian war strategy.

The Kremlin's invasion led not only to formerly non-aligned nations Sweden and Finland coming under NATO's defense umbrella, but also brought Ukraine closer to NATO membership than ever before, according to Stoltenberg.

Sweden officially joined NATO last Thursday in Washington, where Kristersson handed over the relevant documents at the US State Department. Following this, he participated in an event alongside other world leaders.

Stoltenberg mentioned that a negotiated peace for Ukraine is possible, but only if Putin withdraws his forces. He emphasized the need to continue strengthening Ukraine to show Putin that he will not achieve his goals on the battlefield but must engage in negotiations for a solution.
