The two men formed Fidesz in 1988 to protest the occupation of their country by the former Soviet Union. The party later shifted to a more socially conservative platform following the collapse of the communist superpower.
Szájer is married to Tünde Hando, a justice on the Constitutional Court of Hungary. Together they have a daughter. The 59-year-old Szájer was sharply criticized by Orban, and he apologized for his involvement in the affair.
