I have never spoken to Arne Slot. I never interfere in anyone's decisions. Not even when he plays Dominik Szoboszlai as a full-back.

Hungary have failed to qualify for the 2026 World Cup finals, despite having the likes of Dominik Szoboszlai and Milos Kerkez in the team. It is a bitter disappointment for the Hungarians, one they have to accept and move on.

The Hungarian government has filed charges against one of the country's most prominent investigative journalists, accusing him of spying for Ukraine, as officials grapple with the fallout of allegations that Budapest shared confidential EU information with Moscow.

In what bordered on an explicit political endorsement, Rubio told Orban that relations between Hungary and the US had entered a golden age and would stay like that for as long as Orban remains in power. If you face financial struggles, if you face things that are impediments to growth, if you face things that threaten the stability of your country,

A spokesperson accused Karácsony of having "organised and led a public gathering despite the police ban", adding in a statement reported by The Guardian that they planned to impose fines on the defendant "without a trial". Responding to the accusations, Karácsony said on social media that he had "gone from being a proud suspect to a proud defendant".

No country in the European Union has stricter immigration laws than Hungary. Nowhere in the bloc is it more difficult to attain refugee or protection status: EU statistics show exactly 10 people received either in 2025. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is proud to claim that there are "zero" refugees, or as he generally refers to them, "illegal migrants," in his country.

Tens of thousands of demonstrators took to the streets of central Budapest on Saturday, marching to Prime Minister Viktor Orban's offices demanding his resignation over alleged child abuse in state-run juvenile institutions. The protesters, seen carrying soft toys and torches, were led by Orban's main challenger, Peter Magyar, who held a banner that said: "Let's protect children." The protesters walked across the Danube River, with many heading towards Orban's offices on Castle Hill.
