Index Lied: Court Finds Report on Tisza Tax Policy Was Fake
A court ruled that Magyar Nemzet, Index and right-wing tabloid Ripost lied in the summer when they wrote that an alleged Tisza party document advocating higher taxes was genuine, party leader Péter Magyar wrote on his Facebook page yesterday.

The fabricated story was published by Index and disseminated by the entire government propaganda, he wrote.

According to Magyar, Ripost and Magyar Nemzet should publish the following correction: “We falsely reported that the document titled ‘Memorandum for the Leadership of the Tisza Party’, dated July 17, 2025, is an internal memo prepared by the Tisza Party’s economic cabinet, intended for the party leadership”.

Pro-government websites have referred to this memo on several occasions, trying to prove that Tisza would be prepared to raise taxes if it came to power.

Magyar added: "The lying propaganda magazine Index and the other propaganda media products continue to lie this summer, yesterday and today.

The propaganda media will lose all the lawsuits now too."
