Péter Magyar's journey from Orban ally to election rival
Peter Magyar rose to prominence following a scandal involving a presidential pardon in a child-abuse case. He resigned from his position as public administrator, quitting the Fidesz party and condemning it as authoritarian and corrupt. Since then, Magyar has made one revelation after another about the party, raising his profile at meeting after meeting. Last April, he brought together almost 100,000 people on to the streets of Budapest.
