TLDR

  • Ilaria Salis, an Italian MEP, expresses hope for the release of her associate, Maja T., following a potential political shift in Hungary.
  • Salis believes that changes in Hungary's judiciary, particularly the removal of judges by Péter Magyar, could positively impact her own legal case.
  • The article criticizes Salis and Péter Magyar, associating them with the far-left and suggesting their actions align with a "terrorist level" of political maneuvering.

The recent pronouncements by Italian MEP Ilaria Salis, expressing optimism about potential judicial changes in Hungary, warrant close attention from Magyar Nemzet. Salis appears to link the prospect of a "left-wing turn" in Hungary, potentially orchestrated by Péter Magyar, with the possibility of her associate Maja T.'s release, and perhaps even a favorable outcome in her own case.

a Magyar Péter leendő kormányfő által eltávolítani kívánt bírák távozása az ő bűnügyében is számára kedvező változást hozhat.

— Ilaria SalisIlaria Salis's belief that changes in Hungary's judiciary, influenced by Péter Magyar, could benefit her legal case.

This sentiment is further articulated in her social media, where she suggests that the departure of judges, as advocated by Magyar, could alter the landscape of her legal proceedings. It is a rare moment when we can observe such interconnected hopes between figures associated with the radical left. Magyar Nemzet observes that politicians of the far-left often support their like-minded colleagues, and Salis's hopes are understandable in this context.

Magyar Nemzet views Péter Magyar's actions and rhetoric as aligning with this "terrorist level" of political engagement. His apparent disregard for the separation of powers and judicial independence, as evidenced by his statements, suggests a comfort level with figures like Salis. The article points to Magyar's past actions, such as his controversial concert and his rhetoric against the right, as indicators that he would not shy away from supporting Salis's cause, especially given his own perceived radicalism and his celebration of Fidesz's electoral defeat.

miként a holló a hollónak nem vájja ki a szemét, a szélsőbaloldali politikusok is segítik hasonszőrű kollégáikat.

— Magyar NemzetMagyar Nemzet's commentary on the solidarity among far-left politicians.

From our vantage point in Hungary, the convergence of these figures and their apparent disregard for established legal and political norms is deeply concerning. While Western media might focus on the political machinations or the international implications, Magyar Nemzet emphasizes the local context: the potential for such figures to undermine Hungary's legal system and national interests. The article draws a parallel between Salis's group allegedly hunting "Hungarian people" and Magyar's alleged "manhunt" against those in public office, suggesting a shared, problematic approach to justice and political action.

a jogvégzett Magyar Pétert olyan apróságok ugyanis, mint a hatalmi ágak szétválasztása vagy a jogállamisági kritériumok nemigen zavarják a nyilatkozatai tükrében.
