Police Find No Explosives After School Inspections in Hungary
- 24 Jan 2025 7:12 AM

Earlier today state secretary Bence Retvari said that according to data gathered at 11.30, 268 schools received bomb threats, 245 of them in Budapest and 23 outside the capital. All Budapest school districts have received threats, he said.
Prime Minister Viktor Orban on Thursday morning said he is in contact with the interior minister over bomb threats received by multiple schools across Hungary.
"We will boost the security of the schools in question and investigate the bomb threats," Orban said on Facebook.
Police spokesman Kristof Gal said no explosives were found in the schools searched so far. "This supports [the theory] that the email, sent to hundreds of addresses with the same content, probably lacks all foundation," Gal said.
Government spokeswoman Eszter Vitalyos said in a Facebook post today that "it can be clearly seen where Brussels' flawed migration policy leads to: it puts the whole of Europe at risk."
"This is the same Manfred Weber-led Brussels elite that has promised immunity to [Hungarian Tisza Party leader and MEP] Peter Magyar in exchange for representing Brussels' policy," she said.
"They're spreading fake news and lies and putting Europe, including Hungary, at risk."
