addressed a crowd of tens of thousands<\/a> in Budapest and announced plans to form a new political party to challenge the governing party\u2019s 14-year grip on power as an alternative to Hungary\u2019s fragmented opposition.<\/p>\nThe scandal caused an unprecedented political crisis within Orb\u00e1n\u2019s government, which has led Hungary since 2010. Magyar\u2019s followers hope his position as a former insider can help to disrupt Hungary\u2019s political system, which many see as a deeply entrenched autocracy. <\/p>\n
In his recent public appearances, Magyar has particularly targeted Antal Rogan, a close Orb\u00e1n ally who is responsible for the government\u2019s communications as well as the country\u2019s secret services. The recording released Tuesday purports to show that Rogan led the effort to alter evidence. <\/p>\n
The government has dismissed Magyar as an opportunist seeking to forge a new career after his divorce with Varga and his loss of positions in several state companies. But his rise has compounded political headaches for Orb\u00e1n that have included the resignation of members of his government and a painful economic crisis. <\/p>\n
After spending nearly four hours inside the prosecutor\u2019s office on Tuesday, Magyar told journalists that the alleged evidence tampering was cause for Orb\u00e1n\u2019s government to step down, and called for a spontaneous protest later in the day. <\/p>\n
On Tuesday evening, thousands of demonstrators gathered at Magyar\u2019s urging at the Public Prosecutor\u2019s Office in Budapest where he demanded the resignation of the attorney general, whom he accused of acting in the interests of Orb\u00e1n\u2019s governing party.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet us send a message from here, together, that we will not let them cover up the biggest legal and political scandal of the last 30 years! We will not allow it!\u201d he said, adding that he demanded that the alleged misconduct \u201cbe investigated independently, objectively and free from political interference.\u201d <\/p>\n
One demonstrator, Katalin Varga, said that she identifies with Magyar\u2019s political message that corruption in Hungary has led to a disintegration of the country\u2019s political, cultural and social life. <\/p>\n
\u201cFinally, there is a force, a character who represents what for me is the problem with the current situation: the political system, the abuses, and the fact that we are slowly cooking like frogs and not realizing that we are going to be the soup,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
