Hungarian opposition leader Magyar vows to pull Hungary back toward the West in campaign launch

Hungarian opposition leader Péter Magyar is launching his election campaign and says he can return Hungary to a stronger European path. On Sunday in Budapest, he told supporters he stands close to victory with 56 days before pivotal elections on April 12. Magyar has campaigned hard in rural areas, focusing his message on low wages and rising living costs. He accuses Prime Minister Viktor Orbán of economic mismanagement and corruption. Magyar says he can unlock frozen EU funds, and while his party will continue Orbán policies like strict border control, he promises reforms, investment, and a tough anti-corruption drive.
