Péter Magyar

Peter Magyar is a Hungarian politician, European Parliament member and lawyer. He is the incumbent Leader of the Opposition in Hungary. As such, he is widely expected to be Viktor Orbán's challenger in the 2026 Hungarian parliamentary elections.

A former member of Hungary's governing party Fidesz, and ex-husband to former justice minister Judit Varga, Magyar gained nationwide attention in February 2024 when he publicly announced his resignation from all government-related positions after expressing deep dissatisfaction with how Fidesz was governing the country.
