Nick Thorpe, BBC’s correspondent in Hungary, „reports every moment” of the campaign events of opposition Tisza Party leader Péter Magyar, the state secretary in charge of international relations and communications said on social media X, referring to Magyar himself as the source of the information. Zoltán Kovács suggested that Thorpe could be acting under instructions from „a director of Amnesty International Hungary, financed by the Soros Open Society Foundation”. „I do understand … the opposition has a new, seasonal offer in the person of Péter Magyar and the international press can hardly hide its enthusiasm … we are looking forward to the balanced and objective reports,” Kovács said in his entry.
