From pin-up calendars to the Istanbul Convention: Magyar’s U-turn, as Operation Purgatory reaches Orbán’s brother (Day 184 of the Tisza government)

Following Hungary's recent elections, significant developments have emerged, including the arrest of Áron Orbán, brother of former PM Viktor Orbán, for alleged influence peddling. Prime Minister Péter Magyar faced backlash over a mishap involving communist-era secret police records and controversial comments regarding women's portrayal. However, he later announced a comprehensive package aimed at protecting victims of domestic violence. New President András Baka has shown independence by rejecting a government law that could undermine minority shareholder protections, marking a shift in presidential authority. Meanwhile, Fidesz's support has drastically declined, with recent polls indicating a significant drop in their voter base.
