Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar told lawmakers yesterday that his party’s majority in Parliament will form investigative committees to look into alleged corruption and abuses of power by Viktor Orbán and his previous government.
Magyar and his centre-right Tisza party defeated the autocratic leader in a landslide election last month. The win, which gave Tisza a two-thirds majority, allows it to roll back many of the policies that gave Orbán a reputation among his critics as a far-right authoritarian.
Among Tisza’s biggest campaign promises was holding Orbán, his nationalist-populist Fidesz party and their allied business elites accountable for alleged misconduct.
