Mr. Kocsis addressed the accusations on his social media.
It promises to be an exciting debate, that the killer was in fact not Syrian, but a Saudi national,
– Mr. Kocsis began with ironic undertones. He emphasized that the perpetrator’s origin or immigration status does not change the essence of the tragedy:
The point remains the same: Europeans are dead, the killer is an immigrant. Yet again.
Fidesz's parliamentary group leader added that while the initial reports indicated a Syrian perpetrator, the confirmation of the attacker's Saudi descent does not alter the undeniable failure of integration efforts.
This only underscores the fact that integration, often hailed as a miracle weapon, is, at best, creaking,
– he wrote, reiterating Hungary’s firm rejection of Brussels’ migration policies.
Mr. Kocsis concluded by apologizing to those distressed by the erroneous reports, but strongly criticized Mr. Magyar and the Tisza Party for, in his view, obscuring the real challenges facing European communities.
Peter Magyar risked Hungarian people's security
Mr. Magyar keeps shaking his fist as if he didn’t just endanger Hungarian lives days ago by spreading dangerous fake news.
Foaming at the mouth, he spread the claim - citing the Magyar Hang news outlet - that Syria’s ousted president, Bashar al-Assad, had fled to Hungary by plane, even sharing a photo as supposed evidence. However, it quickly emerged that the information he disseminated was false.
Bashar al-Assad did not come to Hungary; the deposed president fled to Russia. The photo, which was purported to show his plane landing in Hungary, was actually taken 12 years ago at a Turkish airport.
Following the case, Magyar Hang was swift to apologize to the readers for spreading misinformation, but Mr. Magyar stood by his claims: the left-wing politician still refuses to admit the obvious, that he had disseminated falsehoods.
Some have suggested that Peter Magyar might be the one who single-handedly triggered the fake news scandal, and that he colluded with Magyar Hang in spreading misinformation. The left-wing politician may have had an interest in spreading this lie in order to try and weaken the government
Peter Magyar's backed by the leftist-liberal media
The leftist-liberal media paid almost no attention to Peter Magyar's role in spreading fake news. They typically only briefly reported that a national security investigation had been launched, without addressing the broader consequences of the disinformation. Telex, the flagship of the leftist-liberal media, also tried to distance itself from covering the disinformation. Similar to HVG, they only briefly mentioned in their coverage that the questionable actions of the president of the Tisza Party were also discussed by lawmakers in Parliament.
