Apparently #Czech PM Babis' best buddies act with Viktor Orban - with whom he jointly founded the Patriots for Europe faction - was an invention of the dastardly media, and #Hungary's new PM is now his bosom chum ...

📋 Záznam o bleskové amnézii a převlečení kabátu: ​Náš Odbor pro ohebnost páteře právě naměřil nový rekord. Když redaktorka připomněla premiérovi jeho dlouholeté spojenectví s Viktorem Orbánem, dozvěděli jsme se šokující zjištění: "To jste hlavně říkali vy, média!" ​Roky objímání, společné zakládání frakce v Bruselu i zvaní Orbána na mítinky do Česka byla zjevně jen novinářská halucinace. Jakmile Orbán prohrál volby, Babiš ho hodil přes palubu rychlostí blesku, stoupnul si vedle jeho přemožitele Magyara a ohlásil s ním "absolutní soulad". ​A jako bonus si ještě posteskl, jak moc Magyarovi závidí ústavní většinu bez koaličních partnerů. Tomio a spol. jistě děkují za milý vzkaz! 🤡 Založeno do složky "Kam vítr, tam plášť". 🌬️🧥📂🗄️

BREAKING: Viktor Orbán quits Hungary's parliament after 36 years – confirming my earlier scoop that he's planning a longer US trip this summer, where heads of the Orbán business empire – his daughter and son-in-law – already live, and where he could seek refuge from prosecution.

#Hungary is preparing to charge @panyiszabolcs with espionage, as the government continues to try to make the journalist the story rather than the scandal that he uncovered, i.e. Budapest's foreign minister handing sensitive info to #Russia.

#Hungary's government has all guns blazing insisting that the scandal is not that the foreign minister was arranging contacts and handing sensitive info to #Russia but that he got caught.

🇵🇱 Nawrocki: For Poland, Vladimir Putin and Russia pose an existential threat, just as the Bolsheviks did in 1920. Poles hate Vladimir Putin, a war criminal and nothing more. As Poland’s president, I see him as a threat to the European idea, NATO’s eastern flank, and the EU.

🚨@BalazsHidveghi: The Tisza agent scandal proves that a pro-Ukrainian government is being prepared with foreign backing. Such a government would serve Brussels and Kyiv, not Hungary. On 12 April, we must say no to foreign influence and defend our sovereignty.
