Magyar Leads 100,000+ Rally on Hungarian National Day

On March 15, 2024 — Hungary's national holiday marking the 1848 revolution — an estimated 100,000 people joined Péter Magyar's Tisza Párt rally in Budapest. Formed less than six weeks earlier, Tisza had already mobilized Hungary's largest opposition demonstration in over a decade. The crowd chanted for 'a normal Hungary,' 'Europe,' and an end to Orbán's 'mafia state.' Magyar pledged to join the European Public Prosecutor's Office and restore judicial independence. The rally demonstrated that Magyar was not a flash-in-the-pan but a sustained mass movement.
