Hungary's incoming Tisza government will retain all effective existing policies, as outlined in its 240-page platform, Peter Magyar, the party's leader, said in an interview to public media on Wednesday.
The number of Ukrainian spies exposed in Hungary is growing, the minister heading the Prime Minister's Office told a regular press conference on Thursday. "The first was Szabolcs Panyi, who has been spying on his own country in cooperation with a foreign state, and the IT experts working for the Tisza Party," Gergely Gulyas said.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has effectively issued a death threat against Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, Péter Szijjártó, the foreign minister, declared at a public forum on Thursday in Sopron. "But Hungary cannot be blackmailed, no matter what threats are made," he said, adding that Zelensky had gone "beyond all limits".
Parliament has adopted legislation granting Hungarian tax and customs authority NAV power to investigate the matter of the Ukrainian cash and gold, which was halted in transit in Hungary last week.
