Welcome to the readers of my new English-language newsletter!
I launched my first newsletter in 2024, in which I analyze Hungarian domestic politics, the actions of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, and the political battle he is waging with his new challenger, Péter Magyar, in five points each week.
Based on feedback, Hungarian domestic politics is of interest to many non-Hungarian-speaking readers, including diplomats, business leaders and journalists. Therefore, ahead of the 2026 elections, I have now launched a new English-language newsletter in which I write about the behind-the-scenes secrets of Hungarian politics.
Twice a month, I write about how Viktor Orbán and Péter Magyar view the political situation, as well as which events, statements, and research in Hungary are really worth paying attention to.
I am in constant contact with politicians and behind-the-scenes figures from both the ruling party and the opposition. Naturally, this information and the conclusions that can be drawn from it always appear in the newsletter. Based on this information from Fidesz and Tisza, I also analyze who seems to have the best chance of winning the election.
I have always been interested in the background of politics: that is why I became a journalist and why I studied law. This is what I have been asking about, writing about, and talking about for the past 15 years as a reporter for public radio, former editor-in-chief of Index, and then as one of the founders and editor-in-chief of Telex.
The aim of the Decoding Hungarian Politics newsletter is to help non-Hungarian readers better understand what is happening in Hungarian politics.
