Peter Magyar, leader of the Hungarian opposition TISZA, published an entry on social media on Thursday.
“Even in Europe, it is unheard of for a ruling party to attempt to discredit, blackmail and neutralize its main political opponent by secretly recording his sexual acts using illegal methods and threatening to make the recordings public,” he wrote.

“Today, I am reporting to the competent investigative authority a crime committed against unknown perpetrators for the crime of unauthorized data collection and the use of unclear means for this purpose. (…) The authorities must also investigate who committed these crimes,” he added.
The opposition leader emphasized that “every person involved in this political crime, regardless of whether he was its instigator, perpetrator, member of the management of the intelligence services or other bodies, even a government politician, will be held accountable for his actions in a Hungarian court.”
Orban may lose power. Scandal with the opposition leader just before the elections
The opposition leader also suggested that the Hungarian government may be responsible for the provocation and that the current action is part of a dirty campaign. The country will hold parliamentary elections in April, and polls show that Viktor Orban, who has ruled the country for 16 years, is in a losing position. TISZA and its 44-year-old leader, who condemns government corruption and wants to pursue a pro-EU policy, enjoy the greatest support.
