Hungarian Prosecutors Raid Fidesz Party Servers Amid Post-Orbán Crackdown

Hungary's Fidesz party, led by former nationalist leader Viktor Orbán, announced on Tuesday that prosecutors raided its data servers, seizing the party's communications system and databases. The raid occurred after Prime Minister Peter Magyar's pro-European Tisza party won a two-thirds majority in April elections, ending Orbán's 16-year hardline rule. Magyar's government has swiftly enacted anti-corruption measures and constitutional changes to bar Orbán from running again, aiming to dismantle his influence over the state. Fidesz called the raid unprecedented since the end of communism in 1990 and accused the new government of autocratic behavior, a charge previously leveled against Orbán.
