Parts of an annual US trade report on Hungary "were dictated by" David Pressman, the former US ambassador to Budapest, so it contained "all kinds of fake news and lies", Peter Szijjártó, the minister of foreign affairs and trade, said after a meeting of EU foreign trade ministers in Luxembourg.
Someone is producing a series of fake social media profiles of Hungarian opposition MEPs, and is using them to attribute false statements to the politicians. One such fake account has been cited as real by pro-Fidesz media.
"There is no middle ground; it is either the Pride or Orban," Ferenc Gyurcsany, the leader of the opposition Democratic Coalition (DK), said on Facebook.
A United States of Europe will come about, "but whether we Hungarians will be in it is a big question", Klara Dobrev, the MEP of the opposition Democratic Coalition (DK), told an event commemorating Hungary's 1848-49 revolution and freedom fight in Budapest.
