Protests have erupted in Hungary following the release of a tape by former government insider Peter Magyar, alleging corruption among top officials. Thousands took to the streets in Budapest, demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Viktor Orban amid accusations of systemic corruption. The tape, which implicates Orban’s cabinet, has heightened pressure on his government. Magyar, seeking to launch his own political career, submitted the recording to prosecutors as evidence. In response, Orban’s ex-ally Judit Varga accused Magyar of coercion, sparking further controversy. The incident underscores a growing challenge to Orban’s leadership in a political climate already marked by tension and public discontent.
