According to Hungarian media reports, former Hungarian Justice Minister Judit Varga's ex-husband Peter Magyar held his third demonstration since March 15 on Saturday afternoon, the largest and largest in recent years, with an estimated 400,000 people taking part in the day's demonstrations.
The theme of the demonstration was "National marches and demonstrations for the new Hungary". On that day, some people came from the countryside or abroad to attend the event, and some said that if Fidesz finally replaces them, they would consider returning to Hungary. Some demonstrators have said they will cross their original support sectors, while others have expressed their willingness to help Peter Magyar volunteer.
Peter Magyar's last demonstration was on March 26, when he released an audio recording in which the former justice minister claimed that Logan Antar and his colleagues had tampered with the investigative files of corruption cases involving Fidesz politicians.
Péter Magyar, who entered the political sphere, announced hours before the demonstration that he had founded the association Let's Be the Change!.
It was reported that the area around Deák Ferenc tér in Budapest was already crowded with people at the time of the demonstration, and they were also present at the demonstration a few minutes before 2 p.m. He had already led the procession along the Bajcsy-Zsilinszky út towards Kossuth tér, while chanting with many people the slogan "Stand up, Hungarians!
At three o'clock, the demonstrators arrived at Kossuth Square, where a large number of people had already gathered, and there was no space to be found.
Peter Magar took the stage to give a speech saying that April 6, 2024 is a date that should be remembered because "from now on, everything will be different from before".
In an interview with television, Magar said that according to police reports, between 250,000 and 300,000 people participated in the demonstration today, but he believes that there are many more who participated in the event.
In his speech, he said, "We have done in a few weeks something that has never been done since the regime change. We have brought the message of hope to the most remote corners of Hungary. We have shaken the political status quo for two decades. ”
Peter Mazar pointed out that every smear the government has made against him only further unite them. He said that Hungary needs a strong EU based on a strong nation-state, and he will join the European Prosecutor's Office to engage in a constructive but critical dialogue with EU institutions.
Peter Magyar announced that starting next week they will be on a national lecture tour in two months, and he also promised that the demonstration will be held again on Mother's Day this May 5 to "make an appearance" again.
Fidesz: Peter Mazar = Peter Marchi-Zai
The Hungarian news agency quoted Fidesz-KDNP's director of communications, Tamás Menczer, as saying that Péter Magyar is the new politician of the dollar left, and that the left will bring Hungary to war – in a video uploaded to his Facebook page on Saturday, Ménzer said that Peter Magyar is a "left-wing politician, the new politician of the dollar left", and that "Peter Magyar is a "left-wing politician, a new politician of the dollar left". Malki XY is exactly the same, he has the support of exactly the same people".
"We must never forget that the left will undermine peace and security in Hungary, they will bring us into war, they will let immigrants in, and they will open up promiscuous propaganda," Tamas Menze said. He added that "the situation today is much more serious than it has ever been before".

After the pardon scandal, Peter Magyar resigned from his position in all state-owned companies and organizations. In this way, he "threw off" millions of monthly incomes. His work is said to be attributed to his ex-wife, former Hungarian Justice Minister Judit Varga, who withdrew from public life due to a pardon scandal.
Mazar became the most vocal critic of the government after making public an audio recording involving Varga speaking about the Werner-Shadrel case in their common home when he was a minister, gaining a large following.
Varga publicly accused her ex-husband of committing domestic violence.
Peter Magyars: Will his presence weaken Fidesz?
The latest poll released Friday by Hungary's Nézőpont Institute shows that the ruling Fidesz retains a 47 percent lead over the opposition, while Hungarian political up-and-coming Péter Magyar is divided among left-wing voters.
Three weeks ago, Magyar announced that he would form a political party and participate in the upcoming European Parliament elections. Nezopong said that in the elections to be held on Sunday, Magyar's party will receive 13 percent of the vote, the same as the joint list of the Democratic Alliance, the Socialist Party and Palbeside.
The ironic Hungarian two-tailed dog party has 11% support, while Momentum, the "biggest loser" in the changing political landscape, has 4% support (down from 7% in February), below the EP threshold of 5%. "While Magyar tried to position himself as a centrist party, he failed to win over the support of supporters of the ruling party. His supporters come from the camp of voters who support left-wing parties," said Nézőpont, adding that the radical right-wing party Mi Hazánk, with 6% of the vote, has just crossed the parliamentary threshold and is down from 8% in February.
However, there is another twist: in the current European Parliament elections, only political parties that are already registered political entities at the time of the announcement of the elections can run. Since the President of the Republic, Tamás Sulyok, announced the date of the elections on March 12 (the vote will take place on June 9), if Pyotr Mazar is serious, he will have to look for partners in the political parties registered at that time.
According to the Office of the National Court, as of the time the elections were announced, there were 185 registered political parties. According to MTI reports at the time, this is almost a hundred fewer than at the time of the 2022 parliamentary elections: there were 267 parties in the register that year.
In order for anyone to vote for Péter Magyar in the European Parliament elections, Péter Magyar's name must appear on the ballot for the European Parliament elections, for which Magyar must register as a political party and must officially be one of the 185 candidates. It remains to be seen which party he will choose to form an alliance with.
