TL;DR
Thousands of protesters in Budapest called for the resignation of Hungary's chief prosecutor and Prime Minister Viktor Orban after a former insider leaked a tape implicating a senior aide to Orban in attempting to interfere in a graft case. The tape, published by Peter Magyar, revealed a conversation with his then-wife, Hungary's former justice minister, detailing the aide's efforts to manipulate documents in the case. The allegations come amidst a politically sensitive time for Orban ahead of European parliamentary elections and follow a recent sex abuse scandal involving his political allies.
