Rome, 9 Nov. (LaPresse) – Former Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has denounced an alleged “dirty political game” being played against him, after the current Prime Minister, Péter Magyar, reported that his brother, Aron Orban, had been taken into custody on charges relating to alleged human trafficking. “Today, the government is due to answer for its actions before the National Security Committee regarding the handling of the secret police archives from the communist era. However, instead of submitting to this scrutiny, it is resorting to political persecution to divert attention. What is happening in Hungary has nothing to do with political accountability; it is a 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 regime. I am the real target. My younger brother is simply being used as a means to get to me,” Orban wrote on X.
