Orbán Leaves Parliament as Magyar Warns of Asset Flight

Reports of funds shifted abroad prompt urgent calls for probes, with Gergely Gulyás preparing to lead Fidesz in parliament.

Overview

  • Orbán said Saturday he will not take his seat in the new National Assembly and will work to reorganize his political camp outside parliament.
  • Fidesz plans a June party congress on his leadership, and Gergely Gulyás is slated to head the party’s caucus in the new chamber.
  • Incoming premier Péter Magyar accused Orbán‑linked businessmen of moving “tens of billions” of forint to the United Arab Emirates, the United States, Uruguay and other jurisdictions.
  • Magyar urged the prosecutor general, police and tax authority to seize assets and detain suspects before they leave for countries with weak or no extradition to Hungary.
  • The Guardian and VSquare reported private jets from Vienna and transfers to Gulf states, while officials rejected talk of flights or document shredding and said Orbán only plans a brief US trip for the World Cup final; Magyar’s TISZA holds a two‑thirds majority with parliament due to convene on May 9.
