One of the most heartbreaking stories I've ever written.

🎬 THE TRAP - The Wasted Opportunities of the Orbán Era (with English subtitles) @direkt36 @andraspe @MartonKami @galaaa23 youtube.com/watch?v=9NQEcL…

Me and @MartonKami investigated Hungarian population decline. Prime Minister Viktor Orban has long promised to raise birthrates (& failed to do so), but we found that one third of the decline is caused by Hungarians moving to other EU countries: direkt36.hu/en/itt-vannak-…

...and the Transparency-Soma 2024 Award goes to: Zoltán Jandó, journalist of @G7gazdasag and Szabolcs Panyi & András Pethő, investigative journalists of @direkt36! We had a wonderful ceremony on Friday evening. Again, we congratulate the winners for their amazing work!

💥💥NEW INVESTIGATION: Hungary spied on EU officials, including OLAF investigators who were probing the company of PM Orbán’s son-in-law. However, there’s a twist to the story: Hungary’s intelligence agency became entangled in internal political rivalries. direkt36.hu/en/english-eu-…

🏥A European study revealed that Hungarian hospitals are still not doing enough to reduce hospital-acquired infections. Direkt36 obtained data showing which hospitals are lagging the most. ✍️@MartonKami direkt36.hu/en/volt-ot-ev-…

In several countries, people from what is said to be the CCP's intelligence agency have been exposed for trying to influence local politics. The United Front has extensive network in Hungary as well. ✍️@MartonKami direkt36.hu/en/magyarorsza…

🔎 @direkt36 is doing seminal work investigating corruption in Orbán's Hungary. Our supporters seem to appreciate it: this year, 1,682 taxpayers dedicated 1 percent of their income tax to us, totaling €68.3K, which is a huge increase from last year (1,046/€38.2K). Thank you!🙏 You can also support us directly: direkt36.hu/en/tamogass-mi…

👏We are proud to announce that for the third time Direkt36's journalists are nominated for the @EuroPressPrize. @MartonKami

🥳👏My colleagues @MartonKami and Zsuzsanna Wirth at @direkt36 received the most prestigious award in Hungarian journalism. They investigated how and why hospital-acquired infections are spreading in Hungary – while the Orbán government is most interested in covering it all up.

👀The news cycle has moved on quickly, so here's a reminder that PM Viktor Orbán just created the so-called "Sovereignty Protection Authority" to investigate "foreign influence" in Hungary. 🔗Read this join statement by protesting Hungarian media outlets: vsquare.org/sovereignty-pr…

❗️The “Sovereignty Protection Authority” is harmful and against the rule of law, yet it cannot intimidate independent media direkt36.hu/en/a-szuvereni…

🔎💸Today, it's International #AntiCorruption Day. Please consider supporting the work of Hungarian non-profit investigative journalism center @direkt36, home to the best accountability journalism in a country riddled with corruption and impunity. direkt36.hu/en/tamogass-mi…

A very important story on a huge health related issue that goes well beyond Hungary.

Here’s the English version of our #CyprusConfidential story with @MartonKami 👇👇👇

Thanks to #CyprusConfidential, now we know about the secret Cyprus business of Viktor Orban's energy minister. @ICIJorg @paper_trail_m Story by @andraspe and @MartonKami telex.hu/direkt36/2023/… (EN version coming soon)

I couldn't be more proud. @direkt36 has produced its first long-form documentary. It's part of our year-long investigation into deadly hospital infections. Watch it with English subtitles 📽️

Augusztus 29-én készítettünk interjút az NNGYK osztályvezetőjével, majd a cikkek megjelenése előtt több mint 2 héttel elküldtük nekik emailben az elemzéseinket és azok részleteit, hogy reagáljanak rá. Választ nem kaptunk sem az OKFŐ-től, sem az NNGYK-tól.

Surján György, az NNGYK igazgatója az eseményen azt mondta, hogy sajnálja, hogy nem fordulunk hozzájuk segítségért a kórházi fertőzéses projekt miatt.

🤔Állítólag nem a Direkt36 cikksorozata volt a kórházi fertőzések visszaszorításáról szóló keddi sajtótájékoztató ihletője, amelyen többször is szóba kerültek a cikkeink, de minket meg sem hívtak. telex.hu/direkt36/2023/…
