The incident allegedly took place on Sunday in the city of Nagykanizsa. Peter Magyar posted a video on social media showing a group of men fighting. The description shows that several people attacked the leader of the TISHA party when he was getting out of the car. “One of them tried to hit me from behind, which was prevented by my colleagues. The action was clearly organized,” Magyar said.
The politician also said that a few hours earlier, the vice-chairman of his party was threatened with a knife during a public speech, and the police detained the attacker. There are to be more acts of aggression against representatives of Magyar's party – “almost every day we have to call the police due to aggressive provocations,” writes Viktor Orbán's rival. In his opinion, these are attempts by the ruling team to “interrupt the election campaign.” He appealed to his supporters for calm. He also emphasized that, contrary to suggestions, he did not intend to apply for police protection or wear a bulletproof vest.
