Orban Opponent Peter Magyar Gets Green Light to Run in Elections

Peter Magyar, who’s seeking to take on Hungary’s nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban, said his bid to register for European Parliament and municipal elections has been approved.

Magyar couldn’t register a new organization because he is entering the race too close to the vote. Instead, he filed to compete in the June 9 ballots as part of the already existing, but virtually unknown Respect and Freedom party.
