Hungary parliament lifts PM Magyar's immunity, enabling criminal probes

The Hungarian Parliament has unanimously stripped the parliamentary immunity of Péter Magyar, identified as both a Prime Minister and an opposition leader across various sources, enabling criminal investigations into a 2024 nightclub incident involving phone theft and broader corruption allegations. This action, which also affected two former Orbán-era ministers, signals a significant escalation in domestic political conflict and legal scrutiny against a prominent political figure. The precise political role of Magyar (PM vs. opposition leader) and the full scope of charges remain unclear across all signals.
