Why It Matters
There is ongoing tension in Hungarian politics between Prime Minister Magyar and former Prime Minister Orban.
Magyar made a statement on the social media platform of US-based company X.
Prime Minister Magyar said, "According to media reports, Viktor Orban's brother Aron Orban was detained on suspicion of human trafficking." he said.
Magyar noted that the competent authorities continue to investigate the issue.
HARD REACTION FROM ORBAN TO THE DECISION
Former Prime Minister Orban also responded to Magyar's statements in his statement on his account on X. Orban said the government should be held accountable before the National Security Committee for its handling of communist-era secret police archives, but instead of being audited, it used "political persecution" to divert attention.
Stating that what is currently happening in Hungary is not accountability, Orban said:
"This is a political witch hunt. Whenever the government finds itself in an embarrassing situation, it resorts to the tactics of the communist-era secret police. The aim of this dirty political game is to eliminate opponents and establish a one-party state. I am the real target. My little brother is only used to get to me."
MAGYAR: ORBAN BLAMES OTHERS AS USUAL
Following Orban's post, Magyar made a new statement on his account on X.
Magyar argued that Orban confirmed that his younger brother Aron had been detained and began blaming others "as usual".
Stating that Orban is trying to portray himself as a victim, Magyar said, "You reap what you sow." he commented.
