Peter Magyar, a rising challenger to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's right-wing government, told supporters in Debrecen that changes are coming to the country that current leaders will be unable to prevent. "Change can be stopped for a few days, a few weeks, but no one in history has ever stopped it and neither can they," Magyar said on May 4. Magyar, 43, who broke publicly with Orban's Fidesz party in February, has announced the creation of an umbrella organization aimed at uniting both conservative and liberal Hungarians disillusioned by Orban's administration. Ervin Nagy, an actor and producer, also spoke, saying, "There's a revolutionary mood, like in 1956," referring to the historic uprising against Hungary's Soviet-backed rulers.
