Hungarian opposition leader Péter Magyar has shared an updated timeline for when a long-delayed asset recovery office could finally begin operations.
If you've been following Hungarian politics, you know that Péter Magyar has become one of the most talked-about opposition figures in the country — and he's back in the headlines again, this time with details about a delayed government asset recovery office and when it might actually get off the ground.
Magyar has shared his expectations for when the office for asset recovery could start operating, addressing a delay that has drawn scrutiny from reform advocates and transparency watchdogs alike.
