Timeline: Hungarian politics in 2025

This timeline follows on from one I did covering the timeline of events in 2024. This timeline is update on a continual basis.

January

– Things literally kick off within the first few minutes of the new year with Magyar Peter taking over the traditional midnight address time-slot from the President who decided he didn’t feel like doing it this year. Magyar Peter’s speech was widely praised and got a million views within one day. You can watch it here. He also called for the 2026 elections to be brought forward — pretty brazen considering he doesn’t have his candidates yet. 
– It was revealed that Orban was on secret vacation in India despite the country being in a state of emergency nad his social post pre-Christmas that the work never stops. Although you can’t fault someone for taking holidays, it’s not a great start to the year.
– In an incredible turn of events, Rogan Antal – a total creep in my personal view – was placed on a sanctions list by the US for “
orchestrating Hungary’s system for distributing public contracts and resources to cronies loyal to himself and the Fidesz political party” – in other words stealing from the Hungarian people.
