🇭🇺 🇪🇺Until now, there has been remarkable harmony between @EU_Commission and the new #Hungarian government, but on the issues of migration and Russian oil, there is a serious rift between the two sides’ positions - @faznet writes

🇭🇺 🇺🇦It was Viktor #Orbán who decided that the #Ukrainian “gold convoy” had to be raided - the action was unfounded and illegal. Even the timing of the raid was determined by the government, to be used in the campaign - reports this investigation #Hungary https://t.co/T93o7QHdVL

Zgodovinski trenutek. Na Madžarskem še nikoli ni na volitvah sodelovalo toliko ljudi kot tokrat in še nikoli ni toliko ljudi glasovalo za eno stranko kot sedaj za Tiszo.

Vrnitev k demokraciji je mogoča.

Piše Ákos Keller-Alánt, madžarski novinar.

🇭🇺🇷🇺🇸🇰The hotline between #Hungarian MFA Péter Szijjártó and Sergey Lavrov provided Russia with strategic information on critical EU issues.
Szijjártó acted on behalf of the Kremlin, making efforts to delist sanctioned Russians.

Viktor Orban wants Hungarians to re-elect him, even though he has turned Hungary into the most corrupt and one of the poorest countries in the EU. To do so, he is telling Hungarians to fear sabotage, thievery, or even a military attack from … Ukraine

The claims of espionage cap off a tumultuous week in Hungarian politics, in which relations with the EU plummeted to new lows and polls suggested that Orbán’s Fidesz party is still lagging behind in support before next month’s election.// w @ashifa_k

[Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project @OCCRP]

Our colleague @panyiszabolcs, a journalist for @VSquare_Project (a Central European investigative outlet run by the Polish @FReporterow, part of OCCRP's global network), has come under a brutal, coordinated attack by the Hungarian government.

Following his latest investigation into Russian influence in Budapest, the government launched a smear campaign against him. The objective is clear: to undermine his findings, distract the public, and discredit a reporter who reveals compromising information about the regime. This is unfolding in the final days of an election campaign where, for the first time in over a decade, Orbán’s grip on power is under serious threat.

@Nkabcen to a certain extent, yes. But it is not a gamechanger

Less than a month prior to the #Hungarian general election, ruling #Fidesz assembles its international supporters: the Patriots' Grand Assembly and the fifth CPAC Hungary will gather European right-wing leaders in Budapest. https://t.co/UaRR8fCATg

We've found Péter Magyar, who shares name with the leader of the #Hungarian opposition. This Magyar runs as an independent candidate, but is a Fidesz supporter. This is not the first time that the Russian method of 'doppelgangers' is used in Hungary https://t.co/xe6MKP51UQ

HVG’s video team was physically pushed out of today’s pro‑government “Peace March” in Budapest after an organizer demanded that security “clean them out of here,” despite the journalists filming on public ground. It is Hungary's national holiday today https://t.co/SXC03VCBYF
