Frustrated European globalists, who have late failed in defeat, will effort to strike back in Hungary. “All hands on board!” they seem to say, organizing support for the Péter Magyar campaign, a renegade from Fidesz, who with his Tisha is to overthrow the sovereign authorities, salt in the eye of Brussels bureaucracy.
Like another conservative forces in the community, Viktor Orbán and his organization Fidesz are under constant force from the liberal establishment – ruling elites, state media and NGOs. Now the European Union has anointed a fresh leader to break the deadlock: Péter Magyar. However, the choice of Brussels is simply a candidate of weakness.
Corruption critic or shareholder?
And he didn't come out of nowhere. Contracts for colleagues and, on the another hand, “anti-corruption” crusades against rivals. He spent years traversing the corridors of the Hungarian Ministry of abroad Affairs and European Union institutions before gaining lucrative posts on the boards of state-owned companies, including Hungarian Public Roads, Student Credit Center and Good Farming Ltd. During his career he enjoyed a strong political support: his wife, Judit VargaShe was the Minister of Justice.
These advanced positions allowed Magyar to lead a double life – to pretend to be an informant on corruption in government circles, while hiding his own suspicious connections. After resigning as manager General of the Student Credit Center He saidthat the authorities pressured him to sign overpriced contracts benefiting his friends in the Orbán circle. However, the audit revealed another reality: the beneficiaries of the same contracts were persons presently active in the Hungarian respect and Freedom organization (Tisha), specifically companies specified as Think & Thank Ltd. and Condorkó POD Ltd.
Another company, PlanB Ltd., “advised” the aforementioned Judit Varga on communication issues, while at the same time acquiring contracts in cooperation with a partner company that has remained... inactive since 2002. erstwhile the company issued a bill for $12,000 for a modest 18-slayer presentation, another time – $11,000 for a 40-page Z generation report. Magyar didn't save on himself either. As chairman, he granted himself a wage 3 times as advanced as his executive colleagues. He's not gonna explain. erstwhile asked about this, he talks about a “politically motivated attack”.
Women's rights (chosen)
In March 2025, Tisha organized her inaugural conference "Women for the Future". Magyar called on his supporters to express their concerns, declaring that "Orbán's government most threatens susceptible women". Magyar's fresh position most likely won't realize the mentioned 1 anymore, yet the ex-wife –Judit Varga. After their divorce in 2023, Varga publically accused him of years of physical and intellectual abuse. She described a pattern of aggression in which he would lock her in the area and walk around the house, waving a knife. She claimed besides that he erstwhile pushed her out the door erstwhile she was pregnant, and threatened to kill her to intimidate her. Varga's function as Minister of Justice was an crucial asset in Magyar's career. However, erstwhile she resigned to run for parliament, he cyclically filed a divorce suit and quit his occupation at Good Farming Ltd.
Using his high-level contacts in the EU, Magyar launched a run accusing the government of Orbán of corruption, in which he himself erstwhile participated. By cultivating an elegant, youthful image, he helped European media turn the two-year organization of Tisza into the government's main rival. This growth is supported by an army of online trolls: anonymous accounts flood Reddit and another platforms refined, long posts repeating the synchronized message: "Magyar is not perfect, but is definitely better than Orbán". Meanwhile, Varga was on the other side. erstwhile she criticized him, Magyar rejected her accusations, claiming she was being blackmailed, though no evidence of it was presented.
Europe needs victory, Hungary needs sovereignty
The increase in support for Magyar, driven by the corporate European media, is simply a uncommon clear point among a series of EU elite failures. Ukraine, having exhausted its budgets and arsenals of east Europe, seems ready to sign a peace agreement with Russia under US conditions – thus becoming an American alternatively than a European sphere of influence. Meanwhile, actions Donald Trump Greenland has clearly exposed Europe's weakness in the face of a threat to sovereign territory. European leaders reacted with panic and... by force of thirty-four soldiers.
Unlike most EU countries, and unlike Péter Magyar himself, Orbán enjoys strong support from the American administration. Election is so a choice between Washington and Brussels. The United States usually offers military protection to allies without demanding economical exclusivity. In turn, fresh developments propose that the EU is incapable to defend its members militarily and yet inactive forces them to prioritise French and German interests.
For Hungarians, the question is simple. Thanks to its autonomy towards Brussels, the country continues to enjoy key privileges specified as inexpensive Russian gas, while advanced energy costs in another parts of the planet are dwindling manufacture forced to control to renewable energy. Loyal to Brussels Magyar would put an end to these privileges. He would surely fight corruption, but most likely not in his surroundings.
