Prime Minister Viktor Orbán wrote on his Facebook page on Wednesday that the Tisza is nothing more than a Brussels project, and their programme is simply Brussels’ own agenda.

Orbán expressed that the moment when “Herr Weber,” with the help of a few hundred European representatives, took hold of the “Tisza reins” was both shocking and shameful.

He added that it is shameful because Brussels no longer cares about anything and is willing to cover for anyone if it helps steer Hungary away from its own path — be it theft, insider trading, or assault, they’ll clean everyone’s slate.

It’s shocking too, because in the history of modern Hungarian democracy, it has never happened before that the fate of the opposition’s leader would be in the hands of foreign representatives. Since yesterday, that is exactly where it stands, the Prime Minister said.

“The Tisza is nothing but a Brussels project. Their programme is Brussels’ programme. And we know it well by now: migration, tax hikes, propping up Ukraine with money and weapons. It’s far better to stay out of it,” Orbán wrote in his post.

Meanwhile, the leader of the Tisza Party, Péter Magyar, is on a campaign tour across Hungary. In a morning post, he said their Tisza World app has been a huge success, with more than 300,000 users downloading it, hundreds of new Tisza islands being created, and thousands of volunteers joining their movement. He added that the government’s attacks against the app generated tens of thousands of new downloads.
