American conservative author Rod Dreher has accused an Italian journalist of misrepresenting his views on Hungary in a recent interview published ahead of the election. He rejected claims that he plans to leave the country due to dissatisfaction, calling the portrayal ‘spin’ and reaffirming his overall support for the Hungarian model, while acknowledging certain shortcomings.
‘Many Hungarians look at Germany, France, Belgium, and even Spain and Italy as countries to follow. However, if many of them were to live for a few months in most neighbourhoods of those countries, they would be in for an unpleasant surprise. Western Europe has unfortunately stopped being what it once was: a place with low crime where people could live comfortably.’
Ukrainian political scientist Yevhen Magda has suggested that Viktor Orbán could still secure an upset victory in Hungary’s upcoming election, despite unfavourable polling in some surveys.

‘History aside, millions of Muslim migrants are currently destabilizing parts of Europe, and jihadist organizations…to terrorize “infidels” across Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.

The Washington Post has accused Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó of offering assistance to Iran following the deadly Hezbollah pager attacks carried out by Israel in 2024. The report, based on an alleged intelligence-sourced transcript, adds to a series of recent leaks targeting Viktor Orbán’s government ahead of the upcoming 12 April election.
‘Trump has propagated a series of inaccuracies concerning the conflict. He has asserted that the U.S. has “eliminated 100 percent of Iran’s military capacity”, while Tehran persists in causing harm across the region. Furthermore, he has stated that the war is nearing its conclusion, even as he requests additional troops from various parts of the world.’
