Meanwhile, Orbán’s press office responded to my scoop by saying they would inform the press about the prime minister’s trips “in due time” — even as pro-Orbán media began publishing articles based on my report about the upcoming meeting.
🇭🇺✈️🇷🇺 SCOOP: Viktor Orbán will meet Putin in Moscow on Nov 28, a reliable source familiar with details of the trip told me. No official confirmation yet. They’ve met 3 times since 2022 & 14 times in total.

Toby Young, self-appointed king of free speech, is speaking in Hungary tomorrow about UK “censorship”.
He’ll be addressing a group funded by Viktor Orbán’s autocratic regime, which has seized control of the country’s media, judiciary, and routinely harasses its critics

Tucker Carlson has hosted Hitler apologists on his show. Now he says Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a pastor who tried to kill Hitler, was not being Christian. He isn't making a theological argument. He's just morally inverting World War II and the Holocaust, to make space for their villains to rise again.

And now the propaganda rag "Magyar Nemzet" (along with other pro-Orban media) shared - then removed - a map containing the personal data, including the address, of the opposition supporters and activists whose data was stolen. Clear and brazen intimidation tactics.

Cara was a word for 'face' in everyday Latin, very rare in ancient writings, but it took off in Romance languages like Spanish.
Cara became chiere in Old French, and via the Normans, it took on new meanings in English, going from 'facial expression' to 'happiness' and 'loud shout' – namely, cheer.
