[Source.](https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2024/04/09/western-legacy-media-gleeful-at-prospect-of-potential-challenger-to-hungarys-orban-after-budapest-rally/) > A political rally in Budapest over the weekend has enjoyed widespread and enthusiastic coverage across Europe and American media, acutely reflecting the desire among Western political elites to see Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán removed from power. > Former Hungarian government insider and erstwhile Viktor Orbán ally Péter Magyar, who was married to one of the Hungarian Prime Minister’s most prominent cabinet ministers until their divorce last year, led a rally reportedly attended by tens of thousands of anti-government protesters on Saturday. Hungary — like all European Union member states — is just months away from elections for the European Parliament, which Magyar (literally ‘The Hungarian’) says he plans to contest with a new party; a move warmly welcomed among Orbán’s critics in the West. > Orbán “faces danger” from Magyar, Politico states, while The Guardian asserts that Magyar is “on a mission to convince Hungarians that Orbán’s government should – and can – be defeated”. The Associated Press gave a glowing writeup to the “rising challenger” and “new political alternative” for Hungary, noting he had suddenly “shot to prominence”.
