Hungary Prime Minister's immunity lifted over phone theft
The Hungarian Parliament lifted the immunity of Prime Minister Péter Mádar on charges of theft involving a mobile phone, with 139 deputies voting in favor of the decision, and no opposition. The case began in 2024 when prosecutors accused Mádar of seizing a phone from a man at a nightclub and throwing it into the Danube River, which Mádar labeled as a political purge and a "farce." After the immunity was lifted, he can now be questioned and face trial. Previously, he was a member of the European Parliament before becoming a member of the Hungarian Parliament following his party "Tiesa" winning the 2026 elections.
