Magyar published an audio recording on Tuesday that he says is proof of official misconduct within high levels of the government of populist Minister Viktor Orbán. Former Hungarian government insider Peter Magyar arrives at Public Prosecutor’s office in Budapest, Hungary on Tuesday March 26, 2024.
He published a recording on Facebook and YouTube on Tuesday morning featuring Varga’s voice describing how other government officials caused evidence to be removed from court records to cover up their roles in corrupt business dealings. “I said what he wanted to hear so I could get away as soon as possible. In a situation like this, any person can say things they don’t mean in a state of intimidation,” Varga wrote. Magyar later denied the claims in a separate post on Facebook.
The government has dismissed him as an opportunist seeking to forge a new career after his divorce with Varga and his loss of positions in several state companies. But Magyar’s rise has compounded political headaches for Orbán that have included the resignation of members of his government and a painful economic crisis.
