⚔️ Resistance

Former Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has declared an end to patience and announced a 'national resistance,' indicating a significant toughening of his political stance. This development comes from discussions at Kötcse, where Fidesz's rising popularity was also noted. Meanwhile, a government report has revealed a dire situation within Hungary's child protection system, indicating its inability to adequately protect children. This alarming finding is coupled with the release of weak PISA test results, which show Hungary lagging behind regional peers like Poland and Estonia, with potential long-term impacts on the labor market and economic growth. In other key domestic news, the Tisza party, led by Prime Minister Péter Magyar, has nominated new candidates for the Constitutional Court. The Paks nuclear power plant also reported a substantial financial loss of 37 billion units due to downtime, and a reform aimed at revising official naming conventions, championed by Kósa Lajos, has failed, with original names remaining and ten new ones being added.
