About
Fidesz is a Hungarian political party that was in power from 2010 to 2026, led by former Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. The party is currently newsworthy due to a significant political shift in Hungary, with the new government, led by Prime Minister Péter Magyar, actively dismantling Orbán's legacy. Recent developments include prosecutors raiding Fidesz's data center in an embezzlement probe and the parliament voting to remove President Tamás Sulyok, who was appointed under Orbán's tenure. The Tisza Party, which ousted Orbán, has nominated figures like András Baka, a former judge removed by Orbán, for high office, signaling a purge of Orbán-era figures. Fidesz's former dominance and its current legal and political challenges highlight its diminished relevance and the ongoing efforts to reshape Hungary's political landscape.
