The Hungarian government, led by Prime Minister Péter Magyar, has submitted a bill to establish an independent anti-corruption office. This initiative aims to investigate cases of corruption linked to the administration of former Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and aligns with Magyar's campaign promise to address issues of financial misconduct and enhance governmental accountability.

The proposed legislation emphasizes that the vulnerability of public assets presents not only an economic risk but also a threat to democracy itself. The establishment of this office is seen as a necessary step to unlock European Union funding, which Hungary has struggled to access amidst ongoing concerns about corruption and governance standards under Orbán’s leadership. The new government's commitment to transparency and reform reflects a significant shift in Hungary's approach to corruption, as it seeks to restore credibility and trust in public institutions.
