Menczer: Ukrainians say Péter Magyar is a political project just like Zelensky
Menczer said on Facebook that a Ukrainian analyst called Dmytro Tuzlanski, now working in a senior position at the Ukrainian foreign ministry, had told Free Europe that 'Péter Magyar is a classic black swan, and with his current political project, in a sense he is like Zelensky in the year when he won the election'.
'So Péter Magyar is a political project. A political project, just like Zelensky. He is the Hungarian Zelensky. He would let Ukraine into the EU,' Menczer said, adding that Ukraine must not be allowed to join the bloc.

Orbán: Ukrainians are ramping up their attacks on Hungary
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said on Facebook that the Ukrainians are ramping up their attacks on Hungary because we have prevented Ukraine's European Union accession in Brussels. 'The Ukrainians must understand that it is for fundamental and strategic reasons that Hungary does not support giving EU membership to Ukraine,' PM Orbán said. 'We don't want war, and we don't want them to ruin the European economy, and with it the Hungarian economy. 'Kyiv must accept that they are not the ones who get to decide what the Hungarian people should think,' the prime minister added.

Government remains committed to reducing budget deficit and cutting state debt
The National Economy Ministry announced on Thursday that the government has decided to activate a national escape clause, allowing an increase in fiscal expenditures while remaining within European Union budget rules. By activating the clause, the ministry said Hungary's budget expenditures may rise, over thresholds set jointly with the EU, to a degree level with the increase in defense spending from a 2021 base, up to 1.5pc of GDP. As Hungary has raised its defense spending significantly over the past five years, in line with a commitment to NATO, the increase in expenditures allowed under the national escape clause may apply to both defense and non-defense expenditures, it added. The government has renamed a 'Defense Reserves' item in the 2026 budget to the 'Economic Development Framework' and will activate it, allowing additional, targeted expenditures that are not contained in the current budget act, the ministry said. In addition to topping up and tapping the Economic Development Framework, the government remains committed to reducing the budget deficit and cutting state debt levels, it added. As well as preserving fiscal stability and maintaining strict fiscal discipline, the government aims to achieve the highest possible degree of economic growth, the ministry said.
