Gabriel Attal is officially running for the French presidency, opening a battle with Édouard Philippe for control of the centre ahead of 2027. The bigger question: can either of them still reach the second round in today’s fractured France? https://t.co/IwHjyRfC8C

Péter Magyar gave the press a tour of propaganda minister Antal Rogán's newly renovated, and now abandoned headquarters in Buda Castle. Just look at this luxury mansion, complete with a cigar room for prominent guests. All this in one of the poorest countries of the EU.
