Orbán's Main Foe Péter Magyar Talks Corruption, Ukraine And Battle Against The Government
In this podcast, Radio Schuman interviews Péter Magyar, leader of the Tisza party in Hungary, who has recently emerged as the only popular alternative to Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.
Magyar spoke to Euronews political reporter Vincenzo Genovese in his office in Strasbourg, where the Hungarian MEP talked frankly about Orbán's media machine, his own court cases in Hungary and where he stands on Ukraine, migration, and relations with China.
As the plenary session in Strasbourg wraps up later today, all eyes are shifting back to Brussels. On Thursday's agenda, EU justice ministers will meet in the capital to discuss Schengen, migration and asylum policies for the first time since Germany reintroduced land border controls for six months in a bid to tackle "irregular migration".
Justice ministers will also discuss the controversial EU regulation aimed at detecting online child sexual abuse material. Despite this being a top priority for Hungary’s Council presidency, don't expect a vote just yet — several EU diplomats say that a consensus among member states is still a long way off.
And here’s a little teaser: the 2025 World University Rankings are out. Think you know which European universities topped the list? Don't be so sure. We don't want to spoil the whole list for you, but we can tell you that European universities have seen a decline in this year's ranking.
