Hungarian opposition leader Péter Magyar has stated that if his party wins the parliamentary elections on April 12, he plans to remove key allies of pro-Russian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. This includes, in particular, the heads of judicial and oversight bodies. This is reported by Bloomberg, writes UNN.

During an election rally, Magyar called on voters to secure two-thirds of the seats in parliament for his party. According to him, this will allow for constitutional changes and a "regime change" after years of Orbán's rule.
