A new center-right government under Péter Magyar and the Tisza party has pushed through a constitutional amendment that ends the terms of the president and the head of the constitutional court, a move that critics say signals a return to tyranny.

Magyar’s Tisza party rejects authoritarian aims, vows to root out corruption from the Orbán era, and seeks closer alignment with European Union standards.

With a two-thirds majority in parliament, the Tisza-led government can reverse many Orbán-era measures and push corruption reforms while steering Hungary toward European norms.

Orbán publicly declared on social media that Hungary is no longer a democracy, marking his first major political statement since losing power in May after 16 years in office.

Orbán condemned police searches of a Fidesz data center as tyranny and urged peaceful resistance, his first major public comment since the election defeat.

Prosecutors raided Fidesz offices and seized servers as part of investigations into embezzlement and related crimes tied to the National Cultural Fund during Orbán’s tenure.

In response to the raids, Orbán issued a ‘Statement of Resistance’ on Facebook, framing the actions as attempts to cripple Fidesz and deny wrongdoing.

Orbán faces ongoing international criticism over Hungary’s democratic standards and rule-of-law concerns, while denying corruption charges.

After losing power in the April election, Orbán urged supporters to restore democracy, arguing that Hungary is no longer a democratic state and calling for mobilization.

Tensions persist between Orbán’s camp and Magyar’s administration as each side presents competing narratives about democracy and legality.

The Parliament’s strong majority under Tisza signals plans to dismantle Orbán-era changes and pursue reforms seen as restoring democratic norms.

Public support for the Tisza party sits around 60%, with Fidesz at roughly 18%, highlighting momentum for Magyar’s movement amid Fidesz turmoil.
