‼️This is what is currently on the screen of Hungary's public broadcaster: "Public service media must not lie." It apologizes for years of deception and says it is being transformed into an independent, trustworthy public service broadcaster. News broadcasting is temporarily suspended.

Judit Lannert, an experienced professional will be the new education minister. Balázs Orbán, PM Orbán’s close aide is “promoting” her with this photo. He’s concerned that “left-wing forces” are taking over. “Thanks for the photo, she seems even more likable now,” someone commented under his post.

What will become of the beautiful House of Hungary that Viktor Orbán bought for €10 million and had renovated for €6 million in the heart of Brussels with public funds, right next to the Belgian PM’s residence? He wanted it to be a gathering place for “patriots”, his far right friends…2/1

🇭🇺 Hungarian elections Hungarian political scientist Gábor Török posted this table on his Facebook page, showing the voter turnout since 1998. According to him, voter turnout is almost certain to be "historic" in this election.

This is one of the most reliable projections by a Hungarian polling firm for the new Hungarian parliament. Orange represents Fidesz, green represents Tisza, and dark green represents the far right. If this proves accurate, it would easily give the Tisza a two-thirds majority.

“If these guys can run a peace initiative, the Sinaloa Cartel can run Narcotics Anonymous.” “So Trump stood on stage with a motley crew, most of whom would probably fail the “know your customer” checks to open a US bank account. It was Mar-a-Lago meets a Most Wanted list.” @henrymance.ft.com 👌😂

6 monarchs, 3 ex-Soviet apparatchiks, 2 military-backed regimes and a leader sought by the International Criminal Court for alleged war crimes. Those are among the inaugural members of Donald Trump’s “Board of Peace”. Just one European country has accepted the invitation: Viktor Orbán’s Hungary.

And this is the poster that will welcome Zelensky in Budapest? (The poster, which is plastered all over the country, shows Orbán's number one opponent, Péter Magyar, and Zelensky, who look like two peas in a pod. The message? They are both warmongers and are controlled by the EU.)

During his visit to Siófok today, Péter Magyar, leader of #Tisza party, suggested that the government had used Israeli #spyware to monitor his party. He promised to provide details later, and warned Orbán's secret minister not to try it again. Tisza is the strongest opposition party in #Hungary.

PM Orbán posed in a T-shirt on his Facebook page, which led many to conclude that he was announcing the date of next year's parliamentary elections: April, 12. The “4/5” might indicate the proportion of votes Fidesz would win, but no one is taking that seruously 😃

Another taboo has been broken: PM Orbán has so far been very careful not to associate with the German AfD party in order to preserve his remaining good relations with the CDU-CSU. And as the 444.hu reports, so far no ruling PM or other serious politician has treated the AfD as a meaningful partner.

The deputy head of the Hungarian Interior Ministry presented the buses that would transport "illegal migrants" from the Hungarian-Serbian border to Brussels. This would be the government's response to the €200 million EU fine, which is due to be paid on 17 September.
