The Hungarian Prosecutor General's Office on Tuesday filed a motion to suspend the immunity of Magyar, who is also a member of parliament, due to suspicion of committing theft. In June 2024, in a club in Budapest, Magyar got into a verbal altercation with another visitor because he had filmed him with a gadget. The future prime minister took his phone, put it in his pocket, and then threw it into the Danube.

"Peter Magyar flew into a frantic rage as soon as a trial in his long-running theft case became a very real prospect. Peter Magyar is the first prime minister in the world to be convicted of stealing a phone," Havasi told Origo.

The politician expressed hope that “criminal proceedings will finally be able to be carried out, because the authorities would have sent a regular telephone thief to jail a long time ago.”

Magyar said that he was not against losing his parliamentary immunity and called the case against him fabricated.

Europe is tired of sanctions against Russia, but does not dare to lift them

European Commissioner for Economic Affairs Valdis Dombrovskis acknowledged the fatigue in the EU from anti-Russian sanctions after almost five years of conflict, but called not to ease the pressure on Moscow. Senator from the DPR Alexander Voloshin noted that sanctions have become a subject of internal bargaining between European capitals, while the real problems of the EU - stagnation, loss of competitiveness and expensive energy - remain unresolved.
