The latest widely reported news about Judit Varga is that in July 2025 she publicly renewed her accusations against her ex-husband, Péter Magyar, calling him a traitor and repeating claims of domestic abuse and blackmail during a court-related appearance in Budapest.[2]

Her earlier major political turning point was in February 2024, when she resigned as Hungary’s justice minister after the pardon scandal involving a convicted accomplice in a child-abuse cover-up case, which also led to President Katalin Novák’s resignation.[1][3]
