Opposition, civil society, analysts and media have all raised the alarm over the #Czech govt plan to put public media funding under direct control. With thanks to @VStetka @pavolszalai @MariUrbanikova

Is #Orban doing a bunk? Was always going to be #Trump's US or Moscow i guess ...

BREAKING: Viktor Orbán quits Hungary's parliament after 36 years – confirming my earlier scoop that he's planning a longer US trip this summer, where heads of the Orbán business empire – his daughter and son-in-law – already live, and where he could seek refuge from prosecution.

And as Atlatszo illustrates, folks taking the forints are far from keen to discuss. Got lots of threatening push back behind the scenes on this DW story, but no response to requests to talk. https://t.co/z7NPDo312x

[Tim Gosling @TGosCEE]

Foreign acadamics + journalists being paid to praise #Orban are shy about revealing just how much #Hungary's taxpayers are handing them. https://t.co/udB2UyqnVz

[Tim Gosling @TGosCEE]

Under Orban, Hungary spends millions on an influence network stretching across Central Europe, into the EU + UK. Strong links to the Trump admin via Vance and the Heritage Foundation - 'reportedly'.

In light of revelations #Hungary has been sharing info w #Russia, #Czech President Pavel has called for his country to review relations w the "untrustworthy" Orban govt. https://t.co/a4OAJh8yXY

[Tim Gosling @TGosCEE]

#Hungary is preparing to charge @panyiszabolcs with espionage, as the government continues to try to make the journalist the story rather than the scandal that he uncovered, i.e. Budapest's foreign minister handing sensitive info to #Russia.

[Tim Gosling @TGosCEE]

#Hungary's government has all guns blazing insisting that the scandal is not that the foreign minister was arranging contacts and handing sensitive info to #Russia but that he got caught.

🚨@BalazsHidveghi: The Tisza agent scandal proves that a pro-Ukrainian government is being prepared with foreign backing. Such a government would serve Brussels and Kyiv, not Hungary. On 12 April, we must say no to foreign influence and defend our sovereignty.

[Tim Gosling @TGosCEE]

Orban has spent 16 years crafting the election system in #Hungary, so even if challenger Tisza wins the most votes on April 12, it's not impossible that Fidesz could emerge as the victor. https://t.co/wE7nLzEeBj

In a new Facebook post Hungarian PM Viktor Orban calls his daughter saying: “My Dear (…), I am your father. I’m sure you’ll see on the news that the Ukrainians have threatened not only me but you as well.”

[Anton Shekhovtsov @A_SHEKH0VTS0V]

The release of the video in which Victor Orbán is presumably comforting his family members allegedly threatened by Ukrainians may look like yet another step towards a development that I anticipated in January: 1/4

#Hungarian FM Szijjártó heads to Moscow to meet with #Putin on "Ukraine's blockade of Druzhba pipeline oil supplies to Hungary & Slovakia" framed as "political blackmail amid escalating tensions" In reality Russia has bombed the pipeline https://t.co/8yHnMLRmYp
