Hungary's former Prime Minsiter Viktor Orban accused prosecutors and the new government of sham investigations into his Fidesz party on Wednesday, a day after investigators seized equipment from the party HQ in Budapest as part of a corruption probe.
Hungary's longstanding leader, Orban lost April's general elections in a landslide to conservative rival Peter Magyar, himself a former Fidesz member, in a result hailed by much of Europe but not by the Trump White House.
Since coming to power, Magyar has moved to dismantle what he alleges to be systemic corruption of the Orban and Fidesz era, making a host of sweeping changes. Orban, however, on Wednesday, called these measures signs of "tyranny" and said that he and his opposition party would offer "resistance" by all peaceful means.
