I've seen a lot of takes that Orbán's defeat means that he was never an authoritarian in the first place.

This is completely wrong — and, in fact, betrays a complete misunderstanding of both Hungarian politics and modern authoritarianism.

Here's why.

We asked guests to tell us their favourite German word at a reception for German-speaking civil servants, as part of #ShoutOutForGerman week.

Alongside some top-notch animal names, we got some fantastic compound words and a few untranslatables too!

What's yours? 🤔

Besonderer Dank gilt der #ASEAN-Präsidentschaft & dem Observation Team. Ihre Rolle bleibt entscheidend, um ein Wiederaufflammen zu verhindern. Die Waffenstillstandsvereinbarung kann nur ein erster Schritt zu dauerhaftem Frieden sein — dazu muss der Dialog fortgesetzt werden. 2/2

[Johann Wadephul @AussenMinDE]

Der Waffenstillstand zwischen #Thailand und #Kambodscha macht Hoffnung. Nach Wochen der Gewalt ist er wichtiger Schritt für Sicherheit & Stabilität — vor allem für die Binnenvertriebenen. Jetzt gilt es, dass beide Seiten die Vereinbarung konsequent einhalten. 1/2

The conflict between Thailand and Cambodia must not be allowed to spiral further.
That’s why the ceasefire needs to be immediately restored.

I will continue to engage to help get out of the escalation cycle.
The EU can offer satellite imagery for ceasefire monitoring.

This is the message I conveyed to Foreign Ministers of Thailand and Cambodia when I spoke to them this morning.

Online scams, including fake websites, social media accounts and manipulated content can cause serious harm – including for those lured into working in inhumane conditions in scam centers. A form of organized crime, 🇩🇪 stands with 🇹🇭 and its partners to address this scourge.

[German Embassy Bangkok @GERinThailand]

🇩🇪 is pleased to join the fight against online scamming as @GermanAmbTHA Reichel participates in the International Conference on the Global Partnership against Online Scams organized by the 🇹🇭 Ministry of Foreign Affairs on 17 and 18 December 1/2
