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.

PM (or MP) on FB: "I receive Zsolt Hernádi today. I will ask him for information regarding the security of our country’s fuel supply. I expect MOL not to pay the HUF 25 billion dividend to MCC."
And if anyone is ready to return to Facebook and Twitter, there are many excellent readings available, you "just" need to set aside your reservations about these platforms
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!
We have been waiting change of coulors so long
Very happy crowd listening to Magyar!

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.
💥Heroes’ Square in Budapest is hosting the “anti-regime grand concert,” with tens of thousands bracing for the end of Viktor Orbán’s rule on Sunday. Chants of “Russians go home” are heard, while performers mock Viktor Orbán and Péter Szijjártó as servants of Vladimir Putin. 📸 444.hu
In these elections nothing is guaranteed, starting with how election day will unfold, with possible falseflag actions by the government to enable extraordinary measures
it is the end, baby-Hungarian elections, 2days to go
NERflix: A collection of independent Hungarian investigative content. A series of voices and interviews speaking up from institutions like the police, army, or competition authority and expressing that “enough is enough” . ner-flix.com?fbclid=IwVER...
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...
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.
Hungarian elections are next Sunday. But orchestrated threats and manufactured crises are alreday undermining Hungarians’ ability to choose democratisation, return to EU norms, and leave autocratisation behind. Their right to free, fair, and fearless elections is at stake. #HungarianElections
This is precisely what many have feared and warned about: a manufactured crisis or security threat could be invoked to create an emergency, enabling Orbán to justify postponing or cancelling the elections.
