I was happy to contribute to another great story by András Szabó on what kind of geopolitical power games form Hungary’s nuclear expansion

Viktor Orbán was offered an idea to sideline the Russians in Hungary's nuclear expansion plans. He rejected it.

I’m extremely proud of my direkt36 colleagues Kamilla Marton & Zsuzsanna Wirth who are shortlisted for the 2024 European Press Prize with their investigation into hospital-acquired infections in Hungary’s disastrous healthcare system - and how the Orbán government covers up the problem.

Couldn’t be more proud of my colleagues!

👏We are proud to announce that for the third time Direkt36's journalists are nominated for the European Press Prize.

💡Andras Petho co-founder and editor of Direkt36 gave a speech at the journalism festival on how Viktor Orbán has built one of the most robust and sophisticated propaganda machinery the modern media has seen.

Full house here in Perugia at Andras Petho’s lecture on how Viktor Orbán’s propaganda works. I’m adding just one slide on how Orbán’s smear campaigns work - and it doesn’t really need translation. #ijf24 journalism festival

Orbán's hidden hand in Euronews: A secret deal with a Portuguese fund manager allowed the Hungarian state to invest €45 million in buying the television network. Amazing collaboration with Andras Petho, Ágnes Gólya, Brice Laemle and JB Chastand based on docs obtained by direkt36

Viktor Orbán’s people had a secret. They helped finance the 2022 takeover of Euronews, one of the biggest news channels in Europe.

Thanks to our joint direkt36 investigation with Le Monde and Expresso, it is not a secret anymore

Here’s our version:

Eight years have passed since we published the #PanamaPapers . Thanks to an amazing team of journalists ICIJ and a brave whistleblower #JohnDoe , no one can claim anymore that we would not have known how the rich and super-rich undermine democracy.

If you’re coming to the journalism festival in Perugia, let’s meet ⬇️
