✍️🇭🇺Hungary is heading to the polls on Sunday in what is shaping up to be a historic election. Here is some practical information for those covering or simply following the events. 🧵⬇️
1. There is no campaign silence in Hungary. On Saturday, both sides will hold major rallies: Prime Minister Orbán in Budapest’s Castle District, and opposition candidate Péter Magyar in Hungary’s second-largest city, Debrecen.
2. On Sunday, voting begins at 6 a.m. and closes at 7 p.m. Important: there are no exit polls in Hungary.
3. Turnout four years ago was 70.21%. This year it could reach a new record.
4. Fidesz politicians will gather on the Pest side of the city at their usual venue, the Bálna event centre. Tisza will await the results on the Buda side, at Batthyány Square. The latter will be an open-air event, and large crowds are expected.
5. Preliminary results may start coming in around 8 pm, but it's difficult to predict when the winner will be announced. If it's a decisive win, it could happen before 12pm. If the race is close, final results may be announced a week later, once all votes from abroad have arrived

🇭🇺🧑‍⚖️💣Judges holding demonstrations, writing letters of dissent. Resignations, threats. The National Judicial Council annulling a controversial agreement made with the government. What is going on in #Hungary's judiciary? Let me explain. Brace yourselves, thread is coming.⬇️ Image
Remember the judicial milestones Hungary implemented in 2023 and received 10,2 billion EUR of previously frozen funds in return from the European Commission? That included the strengthening of the role and powers of the National Judicial Council.
Members of the Council are elected by judges. Their role is vital in maintaining an independent judiciary, it includes counter-balancing the powers of the President of the Judicial Office, a top official in charge of court administration, elected by Parliament.

#Hungary, unlike Ukraine, would not have defended itself against Russian military aggression, this is what the political director of Viktor Orbán basically said on he the day the HU FM met Sergei Lavrov).

A thread on what the 🇭🇺government really thinks about sovereignty. 1/8 Image
Balázs Orbán is the political director of prime minister Viktor Orbán (the two are not related.) He is mainly responsible for shaping the ideology behind the government and its foreign policy. Widely rumoured to be the next FM. 2/8
Balázs Orbán gave an interview to a podcast of government-friendly magazine Mandiner. When asked about the parallels between Russia’s war against Ukraine and the 1956 Hungarian revolution against the Soviet Union, this is what he said: 3/8

Today was the 24th time Viktor #Orbán gave his traditional „state of the nation” speech. From the Ukrainian war to inflation and gender, here is a quick recap of what the #Hungarian PM had to say. 👇 Image
2/6 Orbán is convinced the war between Russia and Ukraine could last for years, and everyone in the NATO and the EU, except Hungarians, is on the side of war.
3/6 The only “morally right thing to do” is to stay out of the war. The war in Ukraine showed that Russia would not stand a chance against NATO, and it is therefore wrong to think that Russia poses a threat to Hungary's security, Orbán added.

Today, the #Hungarian government has issued a decree which will require doctors to present women requesting an #abortion with fetal vital signs before proceeding with the procedure. 1/4 (Thread) 👇
2/4 Though the decree will be hard to put into practice, this is a clear sign that the Orban government wants to appease the far right who have requested the change for some time.
3/4 Hungary’s abortion laws are considered liberal (can be administered until the 12th week) and this is the first time they have been changed since 1992. The Fundamental Law also states “life should be protected from the time of conception”

1/7 It’s Thursday and thanks to a study published by Hungary's State Audit Office, #Hungarian women now know that their over-representation in higher education is causing demographic challenges and puts boys at a disadvantage in schools. Thread from 1892 – sorry, 2022.👇
2/7 The study is based on a questionnaire, with the answers of 700 teachers and parents. As such, it is a perfect representation of Hungarian (and Central European) social norms.
3/7 The study, reported by @nepszava , argues that girls' traits such as emotional and social maturity, diligence, listening skills, tolerance of monotony, good oral and written expression - are more important in schools than mathematical and technical skills needed for boys.
