“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.”

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 😃

Had a great time at API’s 50th anniversary yesterday — so nice catching up with old friends and colleagues. Shame most politicians gave it a miss, though @president.europarl.europa.eu did send a video message. Big cheers to API for 50 years of work! 🥂

The recent front page of the weekly HVG newspaper, which ironises the transparency law that attacks dissent. Full of puns, as always 😂 Fidesz wants to silence such voices 🖕
