Orbán accuses political rival of being a foreign agent – Is TISZA Party facing exclusion?
The Fidesz party in the Hungarian government has embarked on a very dangerous path: after 15 years of a two-thirds majority, Fidesz and Orbán feel that their victory in next year’s parliamentary elections is in jeopardy, and have begun to engage foreign agents against the Tisza Party and its leaders. They are saying this about opposition leaders without any evidence or concrete facts, using a method familiar to Vladimir Putin in Russia. What’s more, with a two-thirds majority, they could even exclude their biggest rival.
Orbán: Hungarian opposition party ‘active participant in secret service action against Hungary’
In an “unprecedented” incident, a Hungarian opposition party has played an active role in an operation of the Ukrainian secret services, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said in a video on Facebook on Tuesday.
Orbán said in the video uploaded after a meeting of the Defence Council that he had convened the body after “Hungary experienced an unprecedented attack from secret services in the past days.” “Ukraine launched the coordinated smear campaign against Hungary with the aim of making our referendum initiative on [Ukraine’s] EU membership impossible,” he said.
“It has turned out that the Ukrainians have activated their Hungarian contacts to carry out the operation, and have launched an attack against the Hungarian Armed Forces with the help of a Hungarian party.”
Orbán said the Hungarian services were prepared to see further operations by secret services until the referendum was closed, and pledged that “we will complete the referendum, because neither Brussels nor Kyiv can decide above the heads of Hungarians.”
Fidesz attacks without evidence but with strong communication
Orbán and his party have embarked on a dangerous path. As we see, the Fidesz party recently accused members and leaders of the Tisza Party, especially Péter Magyar, the party’s president, of acting as foreign agents. The leader of the Fidesz faction, Máté Kocsis, and Prime Minister Viktor Orbán also claimed that the Tisza Party operates with foreign support and influence, mainly from Brussels, meaning that it is not a genuine Hungarian party, but rather a “Brussels party” that is maintained and controlled from abroad.
According to Fidesz’s narrative, the Tisza Party also has Ukrainian connections that could threaten Hungary’s sovereignty, and the party supports Ukraine’s EU membership, which the ruling party believes would be detrimental to Hungary’s economy and interests. As for the latest spy scandal, when Hungarian agents gathered military information in Ukraine (details HERE), instead of explaining, Fidesz came up with the theory that one of the leaders of the Tisza Party, namely the former chief of staff, Ruszin-Szendi Romulusz, is a Ukrainian agent and an enemy of Hungary.

According to Péter Magyar, leader of the Tisza Party, Fidesz is resorting to increasingly harsh measures to undermine the party, such as fabricating accusations of opening offshore accounts or drug deals in order to initiate proceedings against it and prevent it from participating in the elections.
Magyar says that Fidesz is in a panic because it cannot defeat the Tisza Party in a real political contest, so it is trying to discredit them. Incidentally, the Tisza Party has stated categorically that if Ukraine’s accession becomes a real issue during their term in office from 2026, they will hold a referendum and consider the result to be binding.
As we wrote a few days earlier, Péter Magyar shared a secret voice recording, the defence minister talked about moving into phase 0 of the road to war
Exclude the strongest opposition leaders from the election?
The Orbán government has appointed people to lead the Supreme Court (Kúria), the constitutional court, and the public prosecutor’s office, and they control two-thirds of parliament. The secret service operates under the government, and Fidesz also nominated the president of the republic, Tamás Sulyok, who signs every law passed by parliament without criticism. So there is no authority that can stop them; they only have to fear the “streets” if they resort to the final step and, after a campaign of intimidation, exclude their biggest rivals, the Tisza Party and Péter Magyar.
It is an interesting question how the Trump administration, which supports Ukraine, will react to the use of the label “Western agent,” as this clearly puts the Orbán government at odds with the United States and all EU countries.
As we wrote yesterday, Orbán said Brussels “threatens cutting community funding for those that protect the framework of nation states; if that does not work, it will thwart national governments, topple them and help to power agent parties ready to give up national sovereignty”, adding that “they are making an attempt in Hungary for the third time”.

UPDATE
Orban and Fidesz are foreign agents of Mother Russia. They are Little Russians.
Seeing Shadows often refers to perceiving shadowy figures or movements in ones peripheral vision that ain’t there.
This can occur during heightened STRESS extreme fatigue or intense emotional turmoil.
Victor Mihaly. Orban – the PRESSURIZATION growing on him individually is EMENSE.
It is evident, tat Orban and his Fidesz Government are in absolute PANIC mode.
Truth is Truth.
Orban, his Fidesz Government – they FEAR Truth.
Orban, the devastation he and his Fidesz Party have DEALT on millions upon millions of Hungarians, delivering us as a country, into a darkened “abyss” – the FACTS – the TRUTH we know of the “toxic culture” of the Orban led Fidesz Government, there “Heinous” conduct, that we are left in Hungary to-day.
The “shadows” they are seeing – a “clutching at straws” – looking for any excuse or BLAME – the transportation onto “others” – personifies in Orbans attitude, his Fidesz Party a behaviour of GUILT – for what they have DELIVERED on Hungary.
Victor Mihaly. Orban – his growing CONDUCT gives clear indication of being akind to a sufferer of Dystopia.
The “imagined” Shadows of Orban – the “place” of his mind at this point in time, the Prime Minister of a country – Hungary, citizens in millions that have endured great suffering and injustice, through Orbans distillation of DEMOCRACY in Hungary, the totalitarian government he leads, concerns need elevation, of “what next” will we witness “come out” be DISPLAYED of and from – Victor Mihaly. Orban.
No mistake about it, people. It is going to be a very tough election cycle. Our Politicians will do anything to win. No holds barred. Every trick in the book.
You mean cancel the election after an outcome they disliked, file trumped-up charges against the frontrunner, throw prominent opposition figures in jail, and have the intelligence apparatus designate the main opposition party as “dangerous extremists”?
Oh no, that was in Romania, France, Austria, and Germany.
For all his flaws, I’ll take Orban’s word over Magyar’s any day of the week and twice on Sundays.
Orban has repeatedly proven that he puts Hungary’s interests first.
Magyar has repeatedly proven he prioritizes the globalists’.
“Orban has repeatedly proven that he puts Hungary’s interests first”
then why does he support overtly anti-Hungarian politicians?
Why are so many educated young people fleeing the country?
Orban puts himself aand russia first and doesn’t care about anything else.
Which “Pseudonym” – under the name of Michael Steiner – is this one, other than as we know a member of the Fidesz Political Party.
Observation – commentary’s under the “Pseudonym” name of Michael Steiner give clear “history” to us, from “the other side” – being the DEMOCRATIC side, that the Michael Steiner “jargon” receives “to print/publication” by Daily News Hungary immediately without any “moderation” vetting.
The “Michael Steiner’s” of Fidesz Membership, a political party under the Prime Ministership of Victor Orban, that CONTROLS media in Hungary.
We TRUST that NO preferences are afforded Fidesz Members by DNH to the “pseudonym” of Michael Steiner over us, from the “other side” – that have to wait at times HOUR’s – to have OUR commentary’s APPROVED for publication in Daily News Hungary.
We WRITE with knowledge – of TRUTH & Fact and if DNH wish to reply be it Truth & Fact.
This “Michael Steiner” commentary again we see the BLINDNESS in the Victor Orban “fraud” & “swindle” he has played out on Hungarians, in there MILLIONS.
Orban, and his “heinous” – Fidesz Government have NEVER never, never functioned of firstly the PRIORITIZATION of – what’s BEST for the citizens, the population of Hungary.
Orban – his Fidesz Party, as we continue to witness in the “Shambles” of Hungary – the DELIVERY of the Orban-Fidesz Government, they HAVE been, continue to be a SELFISH Government, that take the “Cream” off te Cake first – for THEM inclusive of the Oligarchy, and the “scraps” or left overs, for the citizens/population.
Orbans – Fidesz Government are a Government of ;
Greed.
Selfishness.
Exploitation.
Orban and his Fidesz Government have betrayed Hungarians in millions, abused them, insulted them, and HUMILIATED the name of our country Hungary, in there devastation of Respect & Trust – in the name of our country – Hungary.
This “Michael Steiner” – “twice on Sundays”.
Cardinal – Peter Erdo of Hungary, we know his “friendship” his “support” of Victor Mihaly. Orban that possible was a “bad” note of reference, on his CV – availed to ALL the Cardinals in the Conclave in Rome past week, to choose elect the new occupant of the “Chair of St.Peter” – that “twice on Sundays” the Cardinal, would be very receptive – as would “Peters Pence” – excessive time on the Church “Kneeler” -praying for “Divine Intervention” – for acts of ungodly sinfulness and for the “saving” or FUTURE of Hungary, by Victor Orban.
Maybe – Erdo & Orban – could share the “same” twinned “Kneeler”.
Truth is Truth – but we KNOW that the word TRUTH – it FEARS the Hungarian Prime Minister – Victor Orban and the Fidesz Government of Hungary.
TRUTH is the ONLY safe ground to stand on.
