The end of rising ‘star politician’ Péter Magyar? Former wife and justice minister accuses him of ‘blackmail, terrorising’
Change language:
“Peter Magyar has blackmailed and terrorised me,” Judit Varga, the former justice minister, said on Facebook on Tuesday, referring to her ex-husband who today published a recording of a conversation between them which he made secretly in their family home.
“Shocking. Peter Magyar has now done it. He has been blackmailing me with that for a year,” Varga said, noting that Magyar had secretly recorded the conversation between them when she was justice minister.
Magyar alleges that the contents of the recording provide evidence of government wrongdoing.
“And now he has used it for political purposes,” Varga said. “A person like that is not worthy of any kind of trust,” she added.
Varga also said she had given him “a number of chances to start over during the terrible years of domestic violence”.
Referring to an interview to camera that Magyar gave which was streamed online on Monday, Varga said: “I was just watching that cruel face … and I was chilled to the bone; he lies and manipulates, and it brings back everything I had to endure over the past 16 years.” She added that she could recall “plenty of examples of verbal and physical violence”.
“I felt the buckle of his belt hitting my back”
Varga recalled one evening when she had gone to bed her husband came home in a drunken state and threw books and clothing at her. “I felt the buckle of his belt hitting my back. I tried to crouch smaller and waited for the next blow; I was afraid that it would hit my spine, but I didn’t dare move.”
“At that time I decided that I would divorce him,” she said, adding that when she told him, “he begged me and made promises as he had done so many time for 16 years… He used all the old tricks and methods through which he had always managed to put me back on the rollercoaster of domestic violence … but this time I was determined to find a way out.”
She said Magyar had started threatening her when she insisted on a divorce. “This was the context for this footage… He was preparing to blackmail me. He was provoking me by reading out gossip from the press.” “Since he had been terrorising me for days, I told him what he wanted to hear so that I could get away as soon as possible… In a state of intimidation people say things they do not mean,” the former minister added.
It is well known but never publicized in the media that Orban’s wife had to seek hospital treatment more than a year ago for a severe beating.
Words to express my opinion of Anonymous comment, simple escape me.
AGAIN, no greater time for Hungarians in COMMUNICATING there position(s) relating to the current Orban / Fidesz Government in POWER for 14 plus years – to, when they open there mouths, have something to say, become involved in wanting to RID the present Government who under Victor Orban have delivered us to a BLACK Hole place, than to speak TRUTH that is supported by FACTS.
If we just TALK that is without Facts & Truth, the current situation we are in as a country will spiral massively into a cataclysmic un-reconcilable DISASTER, causing greater grief & pain, to the millions of Hungarians at this time, who are fighting to hold on SURVIVE.
Orban – his love affair in the use of PROPAGANDA – let us, who are OPPOSING him, be committed – that we practice Truth & Fact.
Let us not play – GUTTER Politics but in our FIGHT – our efforts to REMOVE the Orban Government, that we OPPOSE the Orban “mob” – smacking them right between there eyes – in the practice of Truth & Fact.
Hungarians – the world will not be destroyed by those who do EVIL, but by those, who WATCH them, and Do NOTHING.
They’re clearly co-opting Varga to discredit her former husband, her words are the most powerful weapon the government brandishes at the moment, the motivation is quite clear. The truth meanwhile will remain a mystery. I’m beyond believing a single world that government affiliated media publishes, they’ve spread so many lies and pumped out so much propaganda over the years. They could say the sky is blue and the sun’s out and I wouldn’t believe them.
Magyar Peter, nem, Amerikai Peter. CIA shill. Leader of the next CIA backed color revolution.
Enough is enough. The Hungarian Government, especially Orban, went to bed with Putin and his oppressive regime. He spends EU money on propaganda and anti EU posters while the sick and needy has to wait half a year for a MRI or a surgery.
He builds own family and his oligarchs’ wealth by steeling public money, reducing funds from hospitals and schools.
Yet, back in Hungary he proclaims himself as a righteous christian. Behind the veil of his lies he trampled on the Hungarian people’s conscience, summing up hatred against people who disagree with his evilness.
It is so ridiculous.
Yes, he bashed his wife, but no one supposed to know it or talk about it.
