As Hungary prepares to commemorate the 1848 Revolution this March 15, the political landscape is particularly charged. Péter Magyar’s TISZA party, currently the country’s leading opposition force, has called for a massive "National March" through the heart of Budapest.

Ukraine is currently Hungary's enemy as it is trying to undermine the country's secure operations, energy security and sovereignty, Péter Szijjártó, the minister of foreign affairs and trade, said on Tuesday, adding that the government would not allow the country's secure operations to be put at risk.
