Politics in Hungary is buzzing with excitement. We have a new Messiah! In February, a major political scandal unfolded in Hungary.

The subsequent protest at Budapest's Heroes Square was the largest since the 1956 revolution. In an effort to limit political fallout and save face, Viktor Orbán ordered both the President of Hungary, Katalin Novák, and the former justice minister, Judit Varga, to resign.
