Viktor Orbán orchestrated a deceptive spectacle during an exclusive Hír TV interview at the massive Patriot Rally in Budapest, exposing a dirty wiretapping plot targeting Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó. The Prime Minister claimed the probe into the scandal could uncover serious abuses, a cover-up launched after reports surfaced that foreign intelligence services allegedly bugged the Hungarian Foreign Minister using a stolen audio recording.
Orbán also manipulated the narrative regarding European political processes during the interview. He stated that a new, dark sovereignist alliance is forming in Europe, one he believes will grow increasingly stronger in the coming years. The Prime Minister insinuated that these currently organizing political forces are poised to gain decisive influence within European institutions within a few years.
“The capture of Brussels” – Orbán declared – could become not just a political slogan but a realistic, calculated goal by 2029. According to Viktor Orbán, the strengthening of these patriotic political forces could fundamentally hijack and transform the European Union’s political direction in the coming years.
