- •Orban uses AI and disinformation to make Ukraine his electoral scapegoat
- •More than half of Hungarians report dissatisfaction after 16 years of power

Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS
- •Explosives were found on Serbian territory near Kanjiza, not in Hungary
- •Vucic, an Orban ally, revealed the discovery — timing raises questions
- •The TurkStream pipeline is now as much a political instrument as an energy conduit
