💰Viktor Orbán’s son-in-law István Tiborcz was spotted with a €600K Ferrari SF90 Spider in Marbella, per MP @hadhazyakos's findings. Tiborcz and Orbán’s daughter Ráhel lived there and likely still own undisclosed assets in Spain.

🧵A short thread on the Orbán family's luxury.👇 Image

🤑Viktor Orbán’s family has grown insanely rich, with son-in-law István Tiborcz rising on Forbes’s list of Hungary’s wealthiest.

🎬“The Dynasty,” @direkt36’s documentary on the Orbán clan’s fortune, has 3.6M views in a country of 9.7M—enough to spook the gov't. Trailer here.👇
💰Orbán’s family is amassing luxury hotels and prime real estate in Budapest like collecting trophies—including the iconic Hotel Gellért, linked to Hungary’s famed Turkish bath.

Here’s an excerpt from @direkt36's “The Dynasty” on what Orbán’s son-in-law owns across the capital.
🧐Viktor Orbán’s son-in-law runs a private, members-only club in the Buda hills—my @direkt36 colleagues got in undercover. Here’s footage from the Orbán family’s luxury club, where a concierge casually mentions illegal gambling & mafia-themed parties.

Excerpt from "The Dynasty".
🏰Orbán’s “mini-Versailles” estate, Hatvanpuszta—once Habsburg-owned, now in his father’s name—serves as a lavish family dacha where Orbán reportedly holds business meetings. It’s surrounded by land owned by the Orbáns and their inner circle. Excerpt from @le20hfrancetele's doc.
🦓"Orbán’s grandkids are afraid of the zebras in their private zoo,” claimed opposition leader Péter Magyar, alleging the PM even has an Escobar-style wild animal collection (officially owned by "Orbán's wallet" Lőrinc Mészáros). Footage from around their estate by @balazsgulyas.
💸👨‍👩‍👧‍👦Viktor Orbán has a large family, many fond of luxury—here’s his daughter Sára Orbán and her family returning by private jet from a Czech tycoon-owned luxury island in the Maldives. This trip likely costed hundreds of thousands of euros.

✈️🏝️PM Viktor Orbán enjoys exotic trips too—he even skipped Donald Trump’s inauguration for a January getaway to India with family and bodyguards, staying at a five-star hotel. Local Indian media exposed the trip, which is how Hungarian taxpayers found out. Here's some nice pics.
💰🇪🇺 Here’s Viktor Orbán’s daughter, Ráhel, in a promo for Hotel Dorothea—the family’s luxury Budapest hotel where multiple foreign delegations were sent by the government during Hungary’s EU presidency, so they spent money there. The building was refurbished with state support.

💥What we’ve all feared is happening: Hungarian Russia expert András Rácz wrote three days ago about a potential Russia-backed false flag attack in Serbia targeting the gas pipeline to Hungary. The same information had already reached multiple journalists, including myself, weeks earlier, from sources connected to Hungarian government circles.

Now Viktor Orbán has announced that Serbian president Aleksandar Vučić informed him about “explosives of devastating power” found at the gas pipeline connecting the two countries. Orbán and his propaganda machine are already amplifying the news everywhere, with the prime minister convening his security cabinet.

It remains unclear what measures the government might take using this alleged false flag operation as a pretext. But if the second part of the information we received also proves true, Orbán could declare a state of emergency, significantly affecting the election campaign—which he is currently losing—and potentially disrupting the organization of the April 12 election.

The opposition Tisza Party has been widening its lead to 15–20 points, if not more. Orbán accuses them of being "Ukrainian agents" for months. His propaganda would very soon link the Serbian false-flag both to Ukraine and the Tisza Party, I have no doubts about that.

I encourage all foreign reporters covering the Hungarian election to pay close attention and not fall for the government’s propaganda or the narratives pushed by its pundits on the Orbán government payroll, including here on X.

The situation could soon be very serious.Image

💥🪧Huge protest tomorrow outside Viktor Orbán’s office after another week of damning evidence of sexual and physical abuse in child care and youth detention centers. It's Hungary’s own Epstein scandal, fueled by wild rumors. A new related video has already been seen by millions.

💥Viktor Orbán says spending 5% of GDP on defense is “impossible,” that it “would kill us”—and hints at trying to make some deal with Russia instead.

This comes just after Hungary pledged more defense spending at the NATO summit.

Here’s my analysis of CEE military budgets.🧵👇
For different reasons, defense spending is becoming a major issue—and potential headache—for all four Visegrád countries in the upcoming political season.

My summary in @VSquare_Project's latest 'Goulash' newsletter.👇
vsquare.org/goulash-plan-b…
🇵🇱 Poland currently spends 4.7% of its GDP on defense—critical for keeping strong bilateral ties with the U.S. Still, Trumpworld’s backing of opposition candidate Karol Nawrocki at the Polish presidential election shows that even high spending doesn’t shield Donald Tusk’s government from political attacks.

The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute’s (SIPRI) arms transfer database recorded 74 arms transfers to Poland between 2022–2024, with almost all from the U.S. last year, except a Spanish radar. However, a senior European diplomat in Warsaw warned me that Poland’s planned defense budget—20% of total state budget spendingin 2025—may be politically and economically unsustainable in the long run.

“I don’t want to threaten anyone, but we have everything—including how KNBSZ [Orbán’s military intel] paid its asset. We documented it all.”

In his first interview with a Hungarian outlet, Zelensky tells Válasz Online about Orbán's "dishonesty" and his espionage in Ukraine.🧵👇 Image
⚡️“His policy is, unfortunately, anti-Ukrainian. And anti-European. He is using this in his domestic policy: he wants to turn the war in Ukraine to his own advantage in the elections. That is dishonest”, Volodymyr Zelenskyy tells Válasz Online about Orbán. valaszonline.hu/2025/06/10/vol…
Zelensky on Orbán and Hungary: "Viktor Orbán’s position does not reflect the position of the whole of Hungary. This is the difference between Hungary and Russia: in Russia, Putin’s position is the same as the one held by his society." Image

🚨 New footage sparks outrage: Hungarian police stopped an ambulance in Budapest to let a motorcade of one of Viktor Orbán's friends arriving at CPAC Hungary pass.

🇸🇰The Slovak ambassador’s car is seen in the convoy—likely carrying Slovak PM Robert Fico. Social media erupts. 1/2
⚡️Video of the motorcade with a CPAC Hungary guest (likely Slovak PM Robert Fico) blocking an ambulance was posted on Hungarian Reddit—then went viral after @Telexhu reported it. Full story here: telex.hu/belfold/2025/0…Image
On the blue diplomatic license plate, 168 indicates the Slovak Republic, while 001 marks the car of the Slovak ambassador.

I also posted different footage of the same motorcade passing through Oktogon Square on the Pest side — it could only be Fico’s. Image

🔎🇪🇺 "WELCOME TO THE HOTEL ORBÁN, SUCH A COSTLY PLACE"

Our investigation reveals how Hungary’s 2024 EU presidency tried to steer EU delegations to spend money at the Orbán family’s luxury hotel in Budapest.

Here’s Viktor Orbán’s daughter promoting Hotel Dorothea.

🧵Thread.👇
💰Orbán’s government pushed visiting delegations to stay at Hotel Dorothea, a luxury hotel owned by the prime minister’s son-in-law. For example, 🇫🇮 PM Petteri Orpo's delegation was redirected there by Hungarian organizers despite having booked elsewhere. vsquare.org/hungary-eu-pre…
Viktor Orbán’s son-in-law got €105.2M in loans via his BDPST Group from a bank part-owned by Orbán ally Lőrinc Mészáros—and the state. Part of it funded Hotel Dorothea, a 5-star luxury hotel in Budapest. And it wasn’t just Hungarian taxpayers who helped the Orbán family's hotel. Image
