The leading Fidesz lawmaker in the European Parliament, Tam\u00e1s Deutsch, turned the tables and accused Tisza of spreading false information.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs part of this serious interference, the pro-Ukrainian and pro-Brussels Tisza party is spreading disinformation through sympathetic media outlets in Brussels and Hungary,\u201d he told POLITICO. \u201cHungary and its government will not accept pressure or interference in its democratic processes and will do their utmost to stand up for the interests of the Hungarian people.\u201d<\/p>\n
Forcing resignations<\/p>\n
Because the deadline to register candidates for the April 12 vote has passed, the names on the party lists can\u2019t be changed. For this reason, analysts say, Fidesz may now try to dig up dirt on Tisza candidates in the 106 constituencies to knock them out of the race with no hope of replacement.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are some people who have had certain issues in their lives in the past. Nothing criminal, but perhaps they had a company that had to be closed down, or they went through a divorce, or something similar. These things then can be used as hooks to try to infiltrate the psyche of the candidate, creating false narratives around them,\u201d said Tisza\u2019s Tarr.<\/p>\n
The campaign that Magyar alleges will be launched on Thursday targets a candidate for the fifth district in Pest, Orsolya Miskolczi<\/a>. <\/p>\n He has not given further details, but Kontroll, a media platform close to Tisza whose publisher is Magyar\u2019s brother<\/a>, suggested in an article<\/a> that Fidesz will try to link Miskolczi to a high-level corruption scandal in the Hungarian National Bank, where her husband worked as a legal advisor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The leading Fidesz lawmaker in the European Parliament, Tam\u00e1s Deutsch, turned the tables and accused Tisza of spreading…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":819631,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5174],"tags":[331,29,6725,2001,2575,13071,33,2000,299,5187,210057,41727,2190,475,2817,2818,660,2452,2661,11854,15857,7965,45,11666,116009,2343,48,2663,1199,182,236062,657,1781,333],"class_list":["post-819630","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-eu","tag-banks","tag-career","tag-central-banks","tag-communications","tag-corruption","tag-disinformation","tag-elections","tag-eu","tag-europe","tag-european","tag-hungarian-elections-2026","tag-hungarian-politics","tag-hungary","tag-imports","tag-intelligence","tag-intelligence-services","tag-kremlin","tag-media","tag-oil","tag-peter-magyar","tag-pipelines","tag-platforms","tag-playbook","tag-produce","tag-publishers","tag-research","tag-rights","tag-sanctions","tag-services","tag-social-media","tag-tamas-deutsch","tag-ukraine","tag-viktor-orban","tag-vladimir-putin"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116212697125398052","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/819630","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=819630"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/819630\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/819631"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=819630"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=819630"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=819630"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
