International Network Backing the Left to Propel Peter Magyar

In a piece published yesterday, the AP news agency portrayed Peter Magyar in a strikingly positive light. The article, containing information far removed from the ground of reality, was penned by Justin Spike. In response to an earlier inquiry form the Hungarian Mandiner news portal, Spike admitted that Eric Koch, an activist for Action for Democracy funded by George Soros, had bombarded him with emails in a bid to persuade him to cover public life in Hungary according to an anti-government narrative.

As is known, an intelligence report revealing the circumstances of foreign influence on the Hungarian parliamentary elections in 2022 found that more than four billion forints flowed into Hungary through Action for Democracy and a Swiss foundation, and that the money was used to support the election campaign of the opposition left-wing alliance made up of six parties. In light of this, one of Magyar's statements is particularly interesting. In an interview at the Spinoza House, he told journalist Katalin Rangos that he had not met US Ambassador David Pressman personally, but had been approached by intermediaries. He added that in his view, it is imperative to avoid making even the slightest impression that someone is trying to bring down the government with foreign help, although he believes that this is the only way to bring about regime change in Hungary.
