Peter Magyar met with Hungarian President Tamás Sulyok in Budapest on April 15th, during which they unexpectedly spotted Prime Minister Viktor Orbán nearby.
Unexpected Meeting with Orbán
Peter Magyar met with Hungarian President Tamás Sulyok at the Sándor Palace in Budapest on Wednesday, April 15th. During the meeting, they observed Viktor Orbán on a neighboring terrace.
Magyar described the situation as “absolute cinema” and shared a recording on Facebook, noting that Orbán appeared to be unaware of their presence while reading on the terrace.
Orbán’s Reading Material Speculation
Magyar questioned what Viktor Orbán was reading, offering options such as his farewell speech, ‘Nemzeti Sport’, or a statement from former U.S. President Donald Trump.
Accountability and Past Actions
The recording was set to Linkin Park’s song “What I’ve Done,” which explores themes of reckoning with a difficult past. Magyar has vowed to reveal past dealings of the Orbán government.
Shift in Hungarian Politics
Recent elections have seen authoritarian populists relegated to the opposition in Hungary, a situation likened to a “Warsaw in Budapest” scenario.
Anti-Corruption and Judicial Independence Promises
Magyar has pledged to implement anti-corruption measures, restore judicial independence, and ensure media freedom upon taking office, as reported by The Guardian.
He announced plans to publicize secret contracts, resolutions, and government meeting minutes to expose alleged abuses of power and misappropriation of Hungarian assets.
Call for President Sulyok’s Resignation
Magyar stated on Facebook that Tamás Sulyok is “not worthy” to represent the Hungarian nation as president and should resign immediately after the formation of a new government.
