Political Crisis in Hungary as Prime Minister Viktor Orbán Faces Rare Challenge
Former Ally Accuses Orbán of Corruption
Viktor Mihály Orbán, Hungary's Prime Minister since 2010, is facing a political crisis after a former ally publicly accused him of corruption and abuse of power.
Judit Varga's Allegations
Magyar, the ex-husband of former Justice Minister Judit Varga, claimed that Orbán used his position to enrich his allies and suppress dissent. Varga, once a close aide to Orbán, has since become estranged from the government.
Orbán's Early Career
Orbán has a long history in Hungarian politics, leading the Fidesz party since its inception. He served as Prime Minister from 2010 to 2002 and again from 2010 to the present.
Controversial Leadership
Orbán's tenure has been marked by controversial policies, including his authoritarian handling of the media and his opposition to immigration. He has also faced criticism for his close ties to Russia.
Political Crisis
The accusations against Orbán and the resignation of his allies have created a rare political crisis for the ruling government. President Katalin Novák, a member of Orbán's party, has called for an investigation into the allegations.
