Hungary strips PM Magyar's immunity in historic vote, targets former Fidesz ministers

Hungarian parliament voted to waive the immunity of Prime Minister Péter Magyar, making him the first sitting head of government in the country's history to lose legal protection while in office. The move allows prosecutors to pursue a case from June 2024 involving an incident at a Budapest nightclub. Simultaneously, the parliament stripped the immunity of two former Fidesz ministers, Miklós Seszták and Balázs Hankó, who face corruption charges. The Fidesz party boycotted the session, calling the proceedings a political show trial, while the new government framed the actions as part of its anti-corruption 'Operation Purgatory.'
