Hungarian opposition party Fidesz reports prosecutor raid on its server facilities
The Hungarian opposition party Fidesz announced that prosecutors conducted an unannounced raid on its offices to seize the party's communication systems and databases. Fidesz officials characterized the action as an unprecedented event since 1990 and accused the ruling Tisza party of authoritarianism. Prime Minister Péter Magyar, whose party defeated Viktor Orbán's Fidesz in April after its 16-year rule, stated via Facebook that he is awaiting further information from the prosecutor's office. The Tisza government has officially denied allegations of using authoritarian tactics against political opponents. Since losing power, Fidesz has consistently criticized the current administration for its governance style. Meanwhile, the prosecutor's office has not provided immediate comments regarding the operation. The incident occurs against a backdrop of ongoing political tension following the transfer of power and the new administration's pledges to restore democratic institutions.
