Hungarian parliament lifts immunity of PM Péter Magyar and two former Orbán ministers
Euractiv reports Magyar is Hungary’s first sitting prime minister to lose immunity. DW says he requested the move; the vote was 139-0, with Fidesz and its ally boycotting.
TLDR
DW reports the vote clears the way for separate investigations of Magyar, Balázs Hankó and Miklós Seszták. Prosecutors allege Magyar took a man’s phone at a Budapest nightclub in 2024 and threw it into the Danube; he calls the case a “farce.” Hankó denies allegations of misusing public funds, while Seszták faces an investigation into alleged bribes linked to state bus-company contracts.
