State Secretary: BBC on Magyar's campaign bus

State Secretary Zoltán Kovács has highlighted how Nick Thorpe, BBC’s correspondent in Hungary, “reports every moment” of the campaign events of opposition Tisza Party leader Péter Magyar. The state secretary in charge of international relations and communications said on social media X that it appears Magyar himself could be behind the source of the information. Kovács suggested that Thorpe could be acting under instructions from “a director of Amnesty International Hungary, financed by the Soros Open Society Foundation”. “I do understand … the opposition has a new, seasonal offer in the person of Péter Magyar and the international press can hardly hide its enthusiasm … we are looking forward to the balanced and objective reports,” Kovács said in his social media entry.
