It is a sad day for press freedom in Europe and elsewhere. I know many excellent colleagues, Hungarian and foreign, who work at @RFERL and from whom I have learned a lot. ✊
🚨I obtained the notice of termination for @RFERL grant that was sent this morning to management. Also, check out @KariLake's title at the end of the letter: "Senior advisor to the acting CEO with authorities delegated by Acting CEO"

I thought your problem with the @EU_Commission was that it overreaches, not that it does so too slowly 😂
⏰ 7 years ago @EU_Commission promised to abolish the seasonal clock changes
⚔️ 3 years ago it promised to arm #EU countries
📈 6 months ago adopted the Budapest Declaration on #competitiveness that could save the economy.
💶 Today, @vonderleyen promised 800 billion euros to ustry.
👏🏻 Good luck!

The Hungarian "patriots" are delighted that Europe could be left out of the negotiations to end the war, but could be charged with all the costs of the pace building. True patriots!
☝️Important note: Hungarian "patriots" live in Europe.

.@politico has never received any government funding, it claims. USAID subscribed to its services b/c they wanted information. As you & the entire gov’t apparatus subscribe to @MagyarNemzetEN. But it’s not because you want to be well informed. For that reason you read Politico😉
The rabbit is out of the hat! We had to endure for years that the ultra-progressive, self-proclaimed human rights champions of the mainstream media demonized Patriotic political forces for years. They did it because they were paid to do so by USAID and the previous, left-wing US administration. I agree with President @realDonaldTrump : this is too big and too dirty to hide from.

You know that what you write here is not true. The experts are not censoring free speech, they are checking whether the owner of X is manipulating the algorithm to boost the conversation. Just as I keep bumping into posts by people of far-right without even wondering about them
"EU experts" checking whether speech violates EU law. Are we supposed to find this normal? National Constitutions in the EU have solid protection for free speech, sometimes even requiring trial by jury. The DSA may therefore violate these arrangements.

This guy is expected to be the next US Ambassador in Hungary, according to pro-Fidesz daily @MagyarNemzetEN
President Biden's Treasury Department has just sanctioned a senior member of Prime Minister @PM_ViktorOrban's cabinet, Antal Rogan, just two weeks before President Trump's inauguration. This is absurd and 100% politically motivated! I wouldn't be surprised if @USAmbHungary is ple wonder why America isn't respected on the world stage anymore it's because of actions like this. Why does the United States of America meddle into the domestic affairs of Hungary, over and over again while we have so much political corruption ourselves from Democrats?
America must stop meddling into the domestic affairs of our allies around the world and in particular, in Hungary. This meddling will come to a full stop on January 20, 2025!

One of the best Hungarian journalists I have ever known! And I've been in the game for a long time 😉 He and his colleagues deserve all the support they get!
🤝 Investigative journalism is vital for holding power to account, but it needs your support to thrive.

Did the Poles grant asylum to a Hungarian opposition politician accused of corruption? No? Then that must be why we did it ☝️
Btw: former MP of liberal Momentum party could have easily applied for asylum anywhere in the EU 👉 x.com/danielhegedus8…

👎 This is how they do it: “Poland says Hungarian envoy not welcome at event at start of EU presidency”
👍 This is how we did it: attended w/ @SebastianKeciek an inter-university conference with Hungarian and Polish students hosted by @PLInst_Budapest

🎄This year Christmas coincides with Hanukkah. That holiday, too, celebrates light in darkness. Rabbi Hugo Gryn has told of how his father lit a secret menorah candle in the barracks of Auschwitz, made out of metal scraps and using secreted butter for the oil. 2/1
