"We have defeated apathy. We are giving hope to each other. We are building a country where there is no right or left — only Hungarians", Magyar, head of the opposition Tisza party, said at a rally before a crowd that filled the capital's Heroes' Square.
Magyar, who was formerly a member of Orban's Fidesz party, left government ranks and began criticizing parliament for likely corruption.
The Hungarian government has repeatedly denied allegations of corruption.
According to a survey released last week by the Medián pollster, the ruling party has the support of 50 percent of voters. The opposition Tisza party, meanwhile, is gaining 27%.
- Hungary is delaying EU legislation that would allow Ukraine to receive up to 2 billion euros for weapons from the proceeds of frozen Russian assets.
