Péter Nekiment to the president of Mi Hazánk: this is "pathetic and infuriating"

Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar criticized László Toroczkai's remarks on the national holiday, stating that Toroczkai misrepresented the 1956 uprising. Toroczkai claimed that Hungarians rose against globalist forces rather than Russian occupation. Magyar condemned Toroczkai's speech as shameful and accused him of promoting Russian narratives. The recent celebration marked a shift, as it was the first time in 16 years that the Fidesz party did not hold the state commemoration, with Magyar delivering the speech instead. Attendees expressed mixed feelings about the political implications of the holiday and the presence of EU leaders.
