Fidesz reported that its offices in Hungary were raided
The Hungarian party Fidesz stated that on July 21, investigators conducted searches at its offices, where the party’s web servers are located. This was reported by “Ukrainska Pravda,” citing “European Pravda” and a post by the party on Facebook.
Fidesz claims that representatives of the prosecutor’s office arrived without warning at the data center where the party’s servers are located. According to the party, the investigators intended to seize the entire communications system and databases.
“Since 1990, when communism fell, there have been no similar precedents in Hungary,” Fidesz stated. The party of Hungary’s former Prime Minister Viktor Orbán also accused the new government of attempting to shut down its operations and stated that “the authoritarian regime has reached a new level.”
The political party emphasized that it would not yield to “either political or legal threats” and would resist, in its own words, the “violent authoritarianism” of the “Tisa” party. Prime Minister Péter Magyar stated that he is awaiting a statement from the prosecutor’s office regarding this situation.
A few days earlier, Péter Szijjártó announced his resignation from his parliamentary seat, citing an offer to become head of external relations and new business development at the Chinese automaker BYD. Additionally, Gergely Gulyás, leader of the Fidesz parliamentary faction, announced his resignation in protest against the constitutional amendments.
