Dear @HU24EU, since the Hungarian EU presidency has been so engaged in foreign affairs, can we ask for a comment on Evan Gershkovich's 16 years prison sentence in Russia?

Excellent article about #PeterMagyar, challenger of PM #Orban in #Hungary. Written by @danielrenyi, it shows the similarities between Magyar's efforts and those of Orban decades ago. Read it in Chrome in the language of your choice @magyarpeter102 #444.hu https://t.co/USkgs45agu
Happiness, hope & determination 🇭🇺 the three month old #TISZA Party, headed by #PeterMagyar, put an end to #FIDESZ's de facto one party rule. It is now up to us, Hungarians, to create a just, European #Hungary where left or right is replaced by co-operation, trust and hard work.

#Hungary: For 9 euros per month, we can now #crowdfund#Telex, the new online media outlet established by former #Index journalists who chose editorial freedom over the numbing political and economic pressure exercised on Index by PM Orban’s government. https://t.co/wBxgurOKEt
“He wanted to see #Gypsies integrated and living like other Hungarians, for he was proud of being #Hungarian too; he dreamed of dark faces in advertisements, his food in national stores, colour-blind political parties” via @TheEconomist https://t.co/nzE9fBPNfi
Another gesture of solidarity for Index, this time from Slovakia. “Legyen másik” means in Hungarian “let there be another”, the current rallying cry of the news site’s supporters.
És itt a lehetőség, hogy mi, az @indexhu eddigi olvasói anyagilag is támogassuk azt az új fórumot, ahol az #Index újságírói mielőbb folytathatják munkájukat. Pluralista információra és minőségi újságírásra van szükségünk. #24hu#crowdfunding https://t.co/fteO0hBspK
"Dear Hungarian Friends!"
Front page of Gazeta Wyborcza this morning has open letter of solidarity to Index journalists and editors in both Polish and Hungarian.
Congratulations to the over 80 media workers of @indexhu who quit to protest political pressure. Outstanding journalists! It is time for us, readers to financially support them, so they can continue their crucial work. #crowdfunding#Index#Hungary#media https://t.co/KWr5h6fTgW
#Hungary, #PressFreedom - Two weeks ago, https://t.co/kNHENKtXlT came under such external influence that had put the staff and the site's independence in jeopardy. The danger has not subsided, here is the latest development:

"It was not without reason that Index's staff felt in danger, and it was not without reason that I decided to move our independence barometer," the outgoing editor-in-chief stated.

The editorial independence of @indexhu , one of the few reliable sources of information in #Hungary, is in danger, facing immense political and economic pressure. Time for us, the readers to step in and support the vital #freemedia in the country. https://t.co/HLXSIYwYKF
