Magyar garnered media attention when, on 15 March 2024, he announced his intention to found a party, offering an alternative to what he believed to be an "artificial divide" between the parliamentary opposition and Fidesz–KDNP, the governing coalition of Hungary.[1] He further released an audio recording which he claims proves collusion between the Prosecutor's Office and high level government officials, and which he recorded after his ex-wife, Judit Varga, the then justice minister, told him that the government of Hungary is a mafia state.[2]
