Wie ernst nimmt es Péter Magyar mit der Wiederherstellung der Rechtsstaatlichkeit in Ungarn? Ich habe diese Frage mit @katicseres.bsky.social von der @uva.nl in @diepressecom.bsky.social besprochen. www.diepresse.com/31884432/wie...

There is a political agreement between HU PM Magyar and the EU: EU funds will be unlocked. This is a key milestone met by Magyar in a very short timeperiod. It is his first and foremost promise made to come to power and win elections. ”https://www.euractiv.com/news/eu-unlocks-cash-for-hungary/

clear message from Budapest to Brussels from Anita Orbán, incoming Minister of Foreign Affairs: “The veto will not become a campaign tool.” telex.hu/kulfold/2026...

Orbán Anita: A vétó nem lesz többet kampányeszköz

A leendő külügyminiszter a parlament EU-ügyi bizottsági meghallgatásán úgy látta, túl gyakran voltunk a küllők között, és túl ritkán a kerék küllője.

🇭🇺🎶 For the first time in Hungarian history, 'The forest is green / Pădure vergyé', the Hungarian Roma community's anthem — which gained that status after a 1993 civil rights protest — was played in parliament, at Prime Minister Péter Magyar's suggestion. Many MPs were in tears, and so was I.

16 yrs of Orbánism ended today, as a new HU parliament and government took office. No government will is perfect, but I hope Hungary can again be a country that respects human dignity, embraces diversity, and supports rather than undermines its own citizens. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxSU...

Hungary now has no Minister of Justice just 2 days before the new parliament is set to open. The candidate had been under severe pressure because of close family ties to Péter Magyar. Extraordinary moment for the rule of law and institutional stability in Hungary. telex.hu/belfold/2026...

Melléthei-Barna azt írta, hogy a hatalmas felhatalmazásból következik, hogy a társadalmi konszenzust növelni, nem pedig csökkenteni kell a jogállam és az igazságtétel mögött. Ezt pedig a miniszterelnö...

Magyar has announced 7 ministers for the next government, but the key question of who will be the Minister of Justice remains unresolved. This is a crucial portfolio in next HU governemnt, given its central role in the restoration of the rule‑of‑law. telex.hu/belfold/2026...

Magyar Péter bejelentett hét minisztert, és május 31-ig adott időt a NER által kinevezett hivatalvezetőknek a távozásra

Nem lesznek csúcsminisztériumok, minden szakterületnek külön minisztere lesz, jelentette be a kormányfői poszt várományosa. Nagyon sok szakértőt megkérdeztek az oktatási miniszter személyéjéről, de sz...

We have been waiting so long for this electoral map to change its colours. I am so proud of all Hungarians, who made this happen, but in particular independent media, investigative journalists and civil society who all perfomed beyond their abilities over the past years!

You can stand and pose on the van Magyar used for going around the country visiting many small towns and villages @Batthyánytér where Tisza awaits results this evening

Historic elections with historic turnout, people continue in big numbers to cast their vote and decide on Hungary’s future 66% by 15.00.

Voting in Hungary is underway. Opposition leader Péter Magyar, leading in polls, has cast his vote. Turnout at 7am is 3.46%—a record, twice as high as 4 years ago. Early data shows opposition areas overperforming, while Fidesz strongholds are lagging. Follow me for updates on the #HungaryElection

Voting has started in Hungary with record high participation after just an hour: 3,46% #Hungarianelections

Amid the flood of commentary on HU’s elections remember: much of what we know about Fidesz comes from independent investigative outlets like Direkt36. Calling them “local media” (as Financial Times does) is reductive. No investigative journalism = no transparency = no real democratic choice.

What will Hungarians remember from JD Vance’s visit to Budapest? Probably nothing, except the traffic chaos and having to walk to the airport because all traffic was blocked. @telexhu.bsky.social

JD Vance must have missed the news over the past weeks in Hungary: Russian meddling in elections, the government weaponizing police and public services for politics, and the economy left to crumble www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Vance accuses EU of ‘foreign interference’ in upcoming Hungarian election while endorsing Orbán – Europe live

US vice-president claims ‘the bureaucrats in Brussels have tried to destroy the economy of Hungary’

theguardian.com

Orbán’s authoritarian market playbook revealed: In this podcast, HU’s competition authority chief economist explains how decisions are politically reviewed, competition is failing across sectors where oligarchs control 20% of GDP. A recipe for a failing economy and democracy.
