This is the biggest lie about the meeting between Viktor Orbán and Péter Magyar.
The Transparens Újságírástért Foundation proves with facts in its analysis that the Hungarian opposition media completely misrepresents what happened at the EP session in Strasbourg to the debate between Viktor Orbán and Péter Magyar.
Although the narrative that the European Parliament session was about the debate between Viktor Orbán and Péter Magyar appears strongly in the Hungarian opposition press, the facts do not support this
the Transparent Journalism Foundation points out in its analysis
The numbers prove that during the three and a half hour event, the Hungarian Prime Minister spoke for a total of 52 and a half minutes in Strasbourg, while the leader of the Tisza Party spoke for 7 and a half minutes, and Ursula von der Leyen, the President of the European Commission, for 14 minutes.
The TUA draws attention to the fact that, for example, Telex is not the first time to reinforce Péter Magyar's narrative in its articles, now it reported on the events under the title "Orbán vs. Magyar - this was how the Strasbourg EP debate was" In fact, during the EP debate, a total of 59 politicians were given a chance to speak on the podium, and several voiced their opinions in their seats.
What was said at the meeting of the European Parliament can hardly be called a clash between Viktor Orbán and Péter Magyar. A part of the media presents Péter Magyar's seven and a half minute speech as much more significant than it actually was
