Péter Magyar announced another demonstration for Saturday afternoon. This is the third demonstration by Judit Varga’s ex-husband since 15 March.

The last spontaneous demonstration was on 26 March, after he released an audio recording in which the former justice minister claimed that Rogán Antal and his colleagues had tampered with the investigation files in a corruption case involving Fidesz politicians.
