Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar announced that former Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s brother, Aron Orban, has been detained on suspicion of human trafficking. Reacting to the development, Orban said, “This is a political witch hunt. The real target is me. My younger brother is simply being used to get to me.” Magyar, meanwhile, argued that Orban was trying to portray himself as a victim and responded, “You reap what you sow.”
The detention of Aron Orban, brother of former Prime Minister Viktor Orban, in Hungary sparked a fierce argument on social media between Prime Minister Peter Magyar and Orban.
MAGYAR ANNOUNCED: INVESTIGATION CONTINUES
In a statement on his X account, Prime Minister Magyar said, “According to reports in the press, Viktor Orban’s brother Aron Orban has been detained on suspicion of human trafficking.” Magyar noted that the competent authorities are continuing the investigation into the matter.
ORBAN: THIS IS A POLITICAL WITCH HUNT
Former Prime Minister Orban also responded to Magyar on his X account. Orban argued that the government should answer before the National Security Committee regarding the way it handles the secret police archives from the communist era, but that instead of being scrutinized, it is engaging in “political persecution” to divert attention.
Stating that what is happening in Hungary is not accountability, Orban said, “This is a political 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 state. The real target is me. My younger brother is merely being used to get to me.”
MAGYAR: YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW
Following Orban’s post, Magyar made a new statement on his X account. Magyar argued that Orban had confirmed his brother’s detention and, “as usual,” had begun blaming others.
Magyar, stating that Orban was trying to portray himself as a victim, commented, “You reap what you sow.”
