“In 2011, he joined the Permanent Representation of Hungary to the European Union in Brussels.”

“After his tenure in Brussels, he returned to Hungary in 2018 and was appointed to the board of directors of the state-owned road operation and maintenance company Magyar Kozut ZRT.”

“He also became the head of the Orban government’s student loan provider.”

“In February 2024, it became known that almost a year earlier, Hungary’s former President Katalin Novak had pardoned a man convicted of helping cover up a sex abuse case in a children’s home.”

“Also implicated in the pardon was Varga, who had signed the pardon as justice minister.”

“Magyar and Varga divorced in 2023.”

“Novak resigned as president, and Varga stepped down from her seat in the Hungarian parliament.”

“In March that year, in a Facebook post, he accused Orban’s government of corruption and also published a recording of a January 2023 conversation with his ex-wife in which she detailed an attempt by aides of Orban’s cabinet chief to interfere in the prosecution files of a corruption case.”

“But it was only in April 2024 that Magyar decided to join the centre-right Tisza as a candidate in the 2024 European Parliament elections and Hungary’s national elections in 2026.”

“He won a seat in the European Parliament, representing Tisza.”

“In February this year, he was accused of a sex scandal and drug use after photos of an apartment and a bed circulated on social media.”
