Hungary’s opposition called for a probe against Prime Minister Viktor Orban after Austria’s nationalist leader said in a leaked video that a convicted businessman helped the premier take over his nation’s media industry.
The Jobbik party called for a special parliamentary commission Sunday to investigate Orban, arguing that he was indirectly implicated by a 2017 video leaked over the weekend that toppled Austria’s government and triggered early elections.
