Voter surveys suggest that nearly two-thirds of the new Hungarian government’s own voters are dissatisfied with the lack of civic engagement in key decisions.

Voter surveys suggest that nearly two-thirds of the new Hungarian government’s own voters are dissatisfied with the lack of civic engagement in key decisions.

The frontrunner in France’s presidential election has accused Hungary’s government of systematically violating the rule of law.

The human rights watchdog has warned that PM Péter Magyar’s rushed nomination of Judit Polgár represents an undemocratic, unilateral approach to selection.

Conservative opposition party Fidesz has condemned the removal of Tamás Sulyok as unlawful and the following floating of Polgár’s name as “eyewash.”

With the last roadblock in the form of the former Hungarian government gone, it’s now “undeniable” that Ukraine will “soon” become an EU member state, Enlargement Commissioner Marta Kos said.

The overt move aiming to do away with major political opponents was celebrated with a standing ovation by Tisza MPs.

Dozens of right-wing and conservative members of the European Parliament want to hear the European Commission condemn an amendment to Hungary’s constitution, expected to be passed today in parliament, removing the country’s president from office in a blatant violation of the rule of law.

EU finance ministers signed off on the recovery package despite warnings from constitutional experts and rights groups over the Magyar government’s reforms.

It would not be surprising if Donald Trump had deliberately refused to shake Péter Magyar’s hand.

Hungarian police took István Szakács into custody, apparently over a Facebook post about former prime minister Viktor Orbán.
