The Ex-Husband of Former Minister Takes a Stand Against PM Orbán
Péter Magyar Resigns from State-Owned Companies and Banks, Criticizing Orbán Regime
Péter Magyar, the husband of Justice Minister Judit Varga, has made headlines after submitting his resignation from several state-owned companies and banks and publicly criticizing the Orbán regime. In a Facebook post, he expressed his dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs in Hungary and the behavior of top officials.
Previously, Magyar held positions in various state-owned institutions and banks, including the director of Diákhitel Központ Ltd and a member of the directorate in Magyar Közút Ltd and Volánbusz. He was also a member of the supervisory board of the state-owned MBH Bank.
In his resignation letter, Magyar indicated that his reasons for stepping down were not professional, but rather stemmed from his disillusionment with the regime. He specifically called out Minister Antal Rogán, accusing him of laughing at the situation. Magyar also expressed his disappointment in Prime Minister Orbán, accusing him of sacrificing those who worked for the country for personal gains.
He went on to criticize the Fidesz party’s shift from its promise to create a prospering, civic Hungary, to what he described as a focus on acquiring more wealth and consolidating power. According to Magyar, the ideals he once believed in were nothing more than a political facade to serve the interests of the Fidesz party.
In a bold statement, Magyar expressed his hope that Hungary would not be controlled by influential families and oligarchs, but instead be represented by historical figures who contributed positively to the country.
Magyar concluded his post with a message of resilience, reassuring the public that nothing lasts forever and invoking Hungary’s past as a reminder of the nation’s ability to overcome struggles and challenges.
His public criticism and resignation come at a time of heightened political tension in Hungary and have sparked discussions about the state of democracy and governance in the country. The situation continues to unfold, and it remains to be seen what impact Magyar’s actions will have on the political landscape.
As the story develops, many are closely watching to see what implications this will have for the Orbán regime and the Fidesz party.
