Hungarian PM Péter Magyar Dismantles Security Cordon at Karmelita
On May 15, 2026, Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar, accompanied by government spokesperson Vanda Szondi and official Dávid Vitézy, physically dismantled the security cordon surrounding the Karmelita building in Budapest, the former seat of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. This symbolic act was described by Szondi as a significant milestone in the ongoing regime change. Magyar declared that the building is now freely accessible to all Hungarian citizens, marking a shift from the previous administration's restricted access policies. During the event, Vitézy criticized the outgoing government for allocating substantial funds to construct reinforced concrete government buildings and pseudo-historic memorials in the Castle District without public consultation. Following the removal of a fence section by Magyar and Vitézy, police were instructed to dismantle the remaining barriers. The group then proceeded to the entrance to announce the future plans for the historic site. This event underscores the new government's commitment to transparency and public accessibility, contrasting sharply with the perceived opacity and exclusivity of the prior Fidesz-led administration.
