“The snot spine.” This is how he described it in Origo in his opinion article Péter Magyar and Zsolt Bayer. In his article, one of the founding members of Fidesz cited Judit Varga’s two Facebook posts at length, in which she stated that her ex-husband abused and blackmailed her, and that Péter Magyar accused her of verbal and physical violence.
Zsolt Bayer revealed in his opinion article that
We here at Fidesz have known for roughly ten years how he treats his wife
Bayer stated that “for roughly ten years we have loathed, hated, shunned, despised this nobody, this scoundrel”, and they also knew that “this double zero will never forgive him for not becoming a nobody until his wife took him to something .”
During these ten years, when, according to Zsolt Bayer, Fidesz already knew how Péter Magyar was treating his wife, since 2015 Magyar was responsible for relations between the Hungarian Government and the European Parliament, including legal, monetary and capital market, in budgetary, trade and development policy matters. From September 2018, he headed the EU Legal Directorate of the Hungarian Development Bank, then from June 8, 2019, the He was the CEO of the Student Loan Center.
It is puzzling if Judit Varga, even as a minister, did not dare or was able to speak regarding domestic violence
In Reggeliben, journalist Ágnes Lampé spoke regarding how – although she emphasized that we can only talk regarding this in a conditional way – it raises many questions in any case if Judit Varga was really a victim of domestic violence and even she, as a minister, might not or did not dare to speak out.
