Hungary's politics are more tense now. Opposition leader Peter Magyar made serious claims. He said someone is trying to blackmail him. This is with a secret intimate video. He believes the state helped make it. Hungary has a general election soon. Magyar will report this to the police. He thinks the video might be fake.
Magyar is a big challenger to Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. Orbán's party is called Fidesz. Magyar says the blackmail is planned. It is meant to stop his campaign. It also affects his time with his sons. The election is on April 10th. The video is about a sexual meeting. It happened in August 2024.
Magyar's former girlfriend is involved. She accused him of extortion before. Now she supports him. She said they are both victims. She also wants to take legal action with him. This makes the scandal more complicated.
The Fidesz party denies everything. They say Magyar's claims are false. Tamas Menczer and Gergely Gulyas spoke for Fidesz. They said Magyar is lying. They think he is trying to distract people. He is making up a story.
Magyar says a video of him and his ex-girlfriend exists. It is from August 2024. He says it was recorded secretly. He also thinks the government used its tools. The timing is important. His ex-girlfriend is involved. The government may have helped. This causes much talk. The election is already heated. Now there is more political tension. Legal cases might happen soon.
