Over the past decade, Western far-right figures have effectively colonized Hungary, serving as Orbán’s pseudo-intellectual mercenaries: milking the state, running institutions, obtaining Hungarian (and EU) passports, and attacking and smearing Orbán’s critics at home and abroad.

The banality of evil. Rod did not just 'repost fake news.' He circulated a vile slander that Peter Magyar had microwaved his family's pet in front of his children. This was not merely 'dumb' - it testified to how he had internalised the dehumanising discourse of Orban's propagandists. He didn't think to verify the absurd, Orwellian claim because it was 'normal,' received wisdom, for those on the regime's payroll. As Arendt understood, modern tyranny owes less to malice than to thoughtlessness and a failure to reflect on the consequences of one's own actions.

Magyar is calling for a new, fair election in Vas County’s 02 district after what he says was a seriously manipulated result. In a video on his official channel, Péter Magyar lays out the case that the seat was effectively won through deliberate deception. He claims Fidesz MP Péter Ágh benefited from a tactic designed to confuse voters. A “decoy candidate” with the exact same name, Péter Magyar, was put on the ballot despite not even living in the district and regularly showing up at Fidesz events. That candidate pulled in 909 votes, which is a lot more than the 258 vote gap by which the Tisza Party’s candidate, Viktória Strompová, ended up losing. He also notes that police confirmed on April 9 that a criminal investigation has been opened into suspected election fraud, specifically around how recommendation signatures were collected for the decoy candidate and others. Magyar calls the whole thing a cynical abuse of power and says Ágh should show some basic integrity by refusing to take the mandate. He’s pushing for a rerun of the election, arguing that people in North Vas deserve proper representation, not a result shaped by tricks like this. He also tells Strompová to hold her head high and step up as the real representative of those voters.

@roddreher Can’t wait Tisza to prosecute DI propaganda machine including you for looting poor Hungarians together with orban.

Friend just reminded me I reposted fake news (that I fell for) abt Peter Magyar before election. I’d forgotten. I was dumb to believe it & repost. I apologize. Moving soon, but I love Hungary & its ppl, and wish the incoming PM good luck serving this great land.

@DAaronovitch He has been doing it for the whole time residing in Budapest and getting paid 100k a year from Hungarian tax payers without their will. He doesn’t care about anyone around and never did. This really says a lot about how low one can get for 🤑

Not good enough. Why did you believe it? Why did you not check it out before you posted it? What do you think it says about you??

@roddreher in the poorest country of EU. And you tell us that you really care about Hungarians and their culture. Sick.

@roddreher This is so crazy. With all that tax payers money you illegally got and time you spent in Hungary you couldn’t even learn here a damn little thing about the real situation with the country. What a waste.

Oh, please. If HU economy were better, Orban, despite big mistakes, wd be readying 5th term. Guy who beat him is right-winger who ran on Orban stances re: migration, Ukraine. This was no victory for "liberalism," but defeat for a govt too tolerant of corruption in a bad economy.

The remaining votes are still being counted, and we have already gained three additional parliamentary seats.

@roddreher Oh no i am so not sorry to hear that. Finally we stoped funding this propaganda machine from our pockets. You guys were exactly those foreign agents that orban was talking about blaming it all on EU. Thank god ppl WOKE up before you destroyed this country. Viszlát!

RT @micyoung75: Orban lost on Sunday. Before the celebration runs too long, JVL at The Bulwark has the harder question. In 2014, Orban’s s…

$1.7 billion MCC endowment funded by Russian oil. MCC funds Danube Institute. Danube Institute has formal MOU with Heritage Foundation. Heritage wrote Project 2025. Szijjarto confirmed feeding Lavrov EU meeting readouts and helping sanctioned Russian oligarchs. Orbán told Putin he's "at your service." Vance was on the red carpet with Szijjarto Tuesday. Magyar leads by 20 and has pledged to defund all of it. Sunday is the test.

This deserves much more attention. Hungary’s incoming PM just admitted on the record that Viktor Orbán used Hungarian government funds to finance CPAC. His exact words: “I believe the state should never have financed them in the first place, it was a crime.” He is opening a criminal probe in Hungary. This demands a parallel investigation here. Federal law bars any foreign national, including a foreign government, from directly or indirectly giving money or anything of value in connection with a U.S. election. It also bars any American from soliciting or accepting it. CPAC is the flagship networking event for Republican candidates, members of Congress, and the conservative political operation. Money flowing from a foreign government into that ecosystem is exactly what the statute was written to stop. We need answers. How much did Orbán’s government send? Who received it? What was it spent on? Did any of it underwrite electioneering, candidate travel, or political messaging in the United States? Congress should demand records. The FEC and DOJ should open formal investigations. CPAC should disclose every dollar received from any Hungarian government entity or state-linked institution. Foreign governments do not get to buy influence in American elections. Not from the left. Not from the right. Not ever. msn.com/en-us/news/pol…

Damn.

@tomvangrieken Ha ha how silly. Who even pays you money for such gibberish.

Nederlaag voor Fidesz. Onterecht als je het mij vraagt, maar wel duidelijk. Of je Orbán nu mag of niet, iedereen zal erkennen dat hij als een leeuw heeft gevochten voor de belangen van zijn land. Hij zette de Hongaren altijd op één. Iedere dag. Zestien jaar lang. Dat is de

@VolodyaTretyak Lol that’s the best!! Hahah

Not even a day has passed since the elections in Hungary ended, and dictator Péter Magyar has renamed the entire country in his own honor…

@roddreher It’s incredible how one can be so braindead 🤡 rod stop lying you are disgusting.

Oh, horseshit. Orban won four free elections in a row. He lost this one because the economy has been lousy for three years, & ppl wanted change. Fair play. It’s hard for globalists to understand, but it’s still democracy when ppl vote in ways you don’t like.

@BryanLeibFL @StefiDeri @PM_ViktorOrban Where is Stefi?!!! Hahaha!! she popped like a fake balloon!! You were fake an immortal propagandist Stefi and we all knew about it!

Good luck, @PM_ViktorOrban - Keep Hungary Great!! 🇺🇲🤝🇭🇺
