The foundation of former Hungarian President János Áder has publicly responded to accusations leveled by Péter Magyar, labeling his actions a "pathetic struggle."
Magyar, who has accused Áder of legal misconduct, demanded that the former president provide evidence supporting these claims by Monday or issue an apology. Áder's foundation stated that Magyar's public statements were increasingly desperate.
Earlier, Magyar had posted drone footage of Áder's residence on Facebook. He alleged that Áder lives in a villa renovated with billions of taxpayer forints, manages a foundation with billions, and spends vast sums on events. In a subsequent post, Magyar claimed Áder's foundation had received 18.3 billion forints, which was used to purchase a luxury villa and pay associates.
The foundation's statement signifies a direct confrontation with Magyar's allegations, which have gained significant attention in Hungarian public discourse. The demand for evidence or an apology underscores the seriousness with which the former president's office is treating the accusations.
