Péter Magyar sent shockwaves through his audience with his New Year’s address, claiming the government might resort to outright self-harm ahead of the 2026 parliamentary elections just to cling to power. He doubled down at a packed international press conference, revealing how he got wind of this supposed plot.
Will PM Orbán hack the 2026 elections?
A 444.hu reporter grilled him on it during Monday’s global media briefing, held shortly after Viktor Orbán’s own year-opening affair – and with a similar time slot to boot.
Magyar had flagged such dirty tricks back in his 2024 Partizán interview, predicting government moves to kneecap him or his party. Some materialised almost instantly; others took their sweet time. A few, he insists, were scrapped precisely because Orbán’s camp knew he was onto them.

Péter Magyar got information about the ‘suicide mission’
In his New Year’s speech, he revisited the grim playbook: doctored videos, rogue drones buzzing the skies, or even a staged ‘self-attack’ to whip up pre-election panic. Fakes are already rife online, with AI-generated political smears flooding social media – strenuously denied by their targets, naturally.

Pressing him further, the journalist coaxed out specifics: Magyar claims solid intel on drone incursions and self-sabotage plots. He issued a stark plea to prosecutors, spooks, and officials – if ordered to join this farce, step forward publicly. He ominously noted that the statute of limitations on such crimes stretches for years.
Tisza lead in Budapest is huge
The latest poll underscores the stakes. Tisza – Magyar’s outfit – is poised to snatch victory even in opposition-held seats where incumbents fancy a rerun in 2026. A Telex-reported survey by 21 Kutatóközpont (conducted via phone, 15-18 December) shows Tisza’s man trouncing the field in Budapest’s 14th electoral district – even if sitting opposition MP Zoltán Vajda runs again. Vajda scraped home in 2022 by a razor-thin 468 votes, yet 49% of decided voters now back Tisza’s (largely unknown) hopeful, Alexandra Szabó. Party-wide, Tisza hits 57% there, even after opposition rivals siphon off 13%. Fidesz stands at 30%.

Non-government-friendly pollsters have clocked a Tisza surge since November 2024, peaking late summer 2025 before flatlining. Yet year-end data shows Fidesz stagnating too – a potential tipping point, handouts or no.
Tisza to suspend campaign until Friday
The Tisza Party is suspending its election campaign until Friday due to the situation caused by the heavy snowfall in the country, and will aim to directly help as many people as possible, the opposition party’s leader has said in a post on Facebook.
“Actions speak louder than words,” Peter Magyar said on Wednesday, adding that thousands of Tisza’s volunteers are helping to clear the snow at hundreds of locations. They are also buying people supplies and handing out firewood, he said.
Tisza will hand out a thousand cubic metres of firewood this week to families in need, Magyar said.
In a video attached to the post, Magyar called on Tisza’s MP candidates and members of the grassroots Tisza Islands groups to suspend their campaigns in the coming days and help out wherever they can.

162 500 dollárral csaltak ki belőlem, miután rossz emberekben bíztam meg egy olyan tranzakcióban, amiről azt hittem, hogy legitim kriptovaluta-tranzakció. Beszélgettem egy svájci férfival, aki tapasztalt befektetőnek adta ki magát, és idővel nagy mennyiségű bitcoint küldtem, abban a hitben, hogy a pénzemet professzionálisan kezelik. Amikor megpróbáltam kivenni, minden leállt, és rájöttem, hogy majdnem mindent elvesztettem. Köszönöm, Mr. Brown egy kritikus pillanatban lépett közbe, és segített visszaszerezni nekem 162 500 dollár értékű bitcoint. Képességei, professzionalizmusa és a komplex kriptovaluta-csalási ügyek ismerete lenyűgöző volt. Rendkívül hálás vagyok a segítségéért, mivel nemcsak a pénzem visszaszerzésében segített, hanem leleplezte az érintett csalókat is. Azóta Mr. Brownt más csalás áldozatainak, barátaimnak és kollégáimnak is ajánlottam, akik hasonló helyzettel néztek szembe, és ők is pozitív eredményeket értek el. Nincs abban semmi szégyen, ha ezeknek a kifinomult és ragadozó rendszereknek az áldozatává válsz. Az eset bejelentésével és a cselekvés megtételével visszaszerezheted az elveszett pénzed egy részét vagy egészét. A csalás áldozatai a trustwave.cyberdefense@Gmail.com címen keresztül vehetik fel a kapcsolatot a TRUSTWAVE CYBERDEFENSE-szel útmutatásért és segítségért.
57% vs 30%. Tisza has almost DOUBLE the support that Fidesz has. The Fidesz kleptocrats will probably start abandoning ship like rats from a sinking ship. Orban’s daughter took no chances and already established residence in the US.
On March 29, 2022, Dear Larry, Telex.hu published the following poll …
“A week before the elections, roughly the same number of people want a change of government (42%) as want the Orbán government to remain (44%) – revealed a public opinion poll by Závecz Research on Monday, which was obtained by Telex.
The company published its last, representative survey on Tuesday, and there will be no more until the elections on April 3. Among the voting-age population, Fidesz-KDNP has a three-point lead over the United for Hungary list, 39-36. The difference is just within the margin of error. Mi Hazánk is on 3 percent, and Kétfarkú Kutyapárt is on 1 percent.”
The actual elections results were Orbán received 49.27%, Marki-Zay’s 32.66.
That means Telex published poll results that were 13 points slanted towards The Left.
In this poll Telex also slighted Mi Hazánk by nearly 50%, as Toroczkai’s party received nearly 6% of the national vote.

SCAM comment!
Do not like the truth of Telex’s polling history, do you, Antonio?
Did you not read the article?
That was the opinion in the Capital.
Where the average voter is a mindless, lobotomised, globo-homo communist corporate drone.
And Fidesz has 30% even there.
That’s a big failure for Tisza.
Another excellent comment, Dear Márk.
Yes, the Hungarian Left is proudly trumpeting that Magyar Péter is on track to receive 67% of the vote.
Well, in light of how they are doing in the rest of Hungary, they, Tisza, will need a 82% vote in Budapest.
Certainly such a result would be impossible, and the Orbán camp has not even begun to throw the heaviest punches.
No, The Budapest Left, while projecting that the Orbán camp will be unable to accept the election results, still has not successfully managed the electoral math, this in spite, (or is it because of?) being quite well educated.
There must be a lot of marijuana smoke, hidden behind those fine late 19th century buildings, right?
I did not see anything new here – People are tired of Fidesz, Leftists who detest a Hungarian Hungary dominated Budapest, Orbán may, or may not, take Hungary out of the EU.
These strategies, without a credible anti-Migrant stand or pledging not to sexualize children, did not work for Márki-Zay, Karácsont Gergely, or Gyurcsány Ferenc and Juhász Péter.
Nothing new with a Telex poll, either – finding the would-be results their finders want the Hungarian public to think are what the Hungarians are thinking.
At this point Magyar is still trailing Orbán.
Will not change unless Magyar spends the next 3 1/2 months in the hinterlands convincing enough Rednecks he is not going to be heading the next Muslim invasion.
Again Mouton!
you make the same mistakes? you suppose not to be able to write with diacritics!!
Man, you don’t learn?
such an idiot BOT
Hmmmm…….so I think I’ll stick with my prediction. We’ll know who is right about polls in April when the ballots are counted. Obviously, that’s not prophecy. It’s just a fact.
It is going to be a long, hard, slog …
If you care – get off your /ss NOW . It will be an uphill battle!
Magyar will loose. Orban will win, but barely this time, probably his last mandate.
Your prediction, Antonio, is very likely to happen.
“lose” as opposed to “win” , “loose” as opposed to “tight”
It’s okay, Dear Larry, this is not a P.H.D. dissertation!
Personally, I am glad Antonio is not using a mechanical proofer or fake intelligence.
Be well!
Mr. Kremlin bot I do my bit to help others when a easy post is possible. I see this same mistake come up on blog sites. Antonio now knows and is better off for it. That’s all.
Larry, we all know, you are just a bitter, jelous man, who salivates at others’ grammatical mistakes, because that’s the only way you feel you are not at the bottom of society.
I mean you still are, but at least you don’t feel like it for that 30 seconds, when you can “educate” people like that.
But in fact, you just seem pityful acting that way.
Thank you for pointing this out, Dear Márk.
I was just trying to point out to Larry that a little obvious error is no big deal, particularly when it is very obvious that Mr. Hernandez is showing us great consideration writing in a language not his own.
Why can we not be civil and hospitable to one another, even though we disagree?
I think we can be, and, I hope, Larry eventually moves in that direction.
In retreat, knowing that later stages of World War 11, the order from the top of Leadership of Germany, to leave NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING in retreat in accepting that Germany had lost been over-all DEFEATED.
“Fight and defend till the last man falls” – this was the conundrum in ways, the leader of Germany though “not of sound mind” from mid 1944 as the FACT grew of DEFEAT the pride, the self-belief of immortality, a demigod “dominated” behaviour that to SURRENDER without the “under the table” orders to leave but DESTROY on departure on retreat which we KNOW was “acted out” by Germany this was the “little Bavarian” lance corporals – conundrum.
Could the Victor Mihaly. Orban / Fidesz Government “accelerate” what is their coming humongous DOWNFALL in Spring 2026 – that in the preparation in the planning of Orban/Fidesz the knowing – they will be DEFEATED but as is the historic commencement 16th June 1989 – practiced by Victor Mihaly. Orban to millions upon millions of Hungarians, to Hungary being in FEAR of Truth – could Orban and his “heinous” and “toxic in culture” Fidesz Government continue on – to take from Hungarians – Hungary through Victor Mihaly. Orbans “creed” his personal and Fidesz Governments “history” – the practice of Greed, of Selfishness and the taking from EXPLOITING the people in millions of Hungarians – Hungary ???
I would NOT dismiss this in the “undercroft” – the “modus operandi” – of Victor Mihaly. Orban – his Fidesz Government is FACTUALLY Happening.
Will “post” – of Victor Mihaly. Orban, his Fidesz Government humiliation of DEFEAT through the POWER of the Vote, the people in their millions of Hungarians – will we see a re-enactment of the Nuremberg Trials ???
Victor Mihaly. Orban – his Fidesz Government, his “inner sanctum” – the Oligarchy have DEVASTATED Hungary, delivered us as a country, to a place that could be written reflects Hungary as a country, in a “new dark age” abyss, that our nadir – the impact on the damage internally, and that of our image as a country Globally “trashed” by Orban/ Fidesz, that see’s us as a country historically of trust and respect – just DESTROYED by the name Victor Mihaly. Orban and the Fidesz Political Party.
Victor Mihaly. Orban and his “lot” – post the Spring of 2026 be permitted nor authorised to walk FREE of what their SHAMEFUL legacy has left us to live in as a country and to deal with for our FUTURE.
DEFEAT in defeat we Hungary individually and as a country DESERVE answers for the DELIVERY which Victor Mihaly. Orban / his Fidesz Government and “in HOPE” likened to the Nuremberg Trials – we see from the name Victor Mihaly. Orban down his long, long long ladder, these individuals court room STOOD and meeting their deservingly Judgement.
MKKP will foster a candidate and win with 2/3 majority. Free beer for everybody
Mkkp would hate that the most.
