Orban's close associate works for the Russians? Shocking news

The former director of the museum dedicated to the victims of totalitarianism and the anti-Soviet uprising in Hungary in 1956 denied having anything to do with the website.

The website has been entered on the British sanctions list

The website initially operated in the govorit.eu domain and was registered in Berlin, and then moved to the govorit.tv domain, moving the editorial office to Hungary and the servers to Kazakhstan. In a statement, the portal's representatives justified the decision with the alleged pressure exerted on the project by European authorities, recalled the Hungarian weekly "HVG".

In turn, in May this year, the portal was included on the British sanctions list. It was considered an element of an information manipulation network linked to Russia, the aim of which was to destabilize the situation in Ukraine.
