Prosecutors raid Fidesz data center

Hungarian prosecutors raided the data center of Fidesz, the party of former Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, seizing its communication systems and databases. The action marks a significant move by the new pro-European conservative government, which came to power after Orbán's 16-year rule.

Fidesz condemned the raid, stating in a Facebook post that such an action had no precedent in Hungary since the collapse of communism in 1990. The party accused the new administration of authoritarian behavior, a charge often leveled against Orbán himself during his tenure.

Peter Magyar's Tisza party secured a decisive victory in the April general elections, promising a "regime change" and a complete break from the Orbán era. The party now holds a two-thirds majority in parliament.

Since taking office, Magyar's government has implemented numerous anti-corruption measures and constitutional amendments. These changes appear designed to prevent Orbán from running for office again. Fidesz has consistently denounced Magyar's actions as "autocratic."
