  • Commentator Dániel Deák described Anna Unger’s RTL interview as a coordinated political performance and focused on her statement that neither Péter Magyar nor anyone else should call her.
  • He said Magyar quickly confirmed that he did not plan to call Unger, while suggesting that Bálint Ruff would continue advising her.
  • Deák questioned the appointment of a candidate without a law degree to lead an institution whose work could carry serious legal consequences.

The sharpest moment in Anna Unger’s RTL interview, according to commentator Dániel Deák, came when she declared: “Neither Péter Magyar nor anyone else should call me!” Deák said government-aligned media immediately highlighted the remark, followed by a quick response from Magyar saying he had no intention of calling her.

Deák presented the exchange as carefully staged, describing it as if it had followed a prewritten script. He allowed that Magyar himself might not contact Unger directly, but said Bálint Ruff, Magyar’s longtime friend, would likely remain at her side and guide her.

Neither Péter Magyar nor anyone else should call me!

— Anna UngerUnger made the statement during an RTL interview that became the focus of political commentary.

That claim led Deák to a broader political criticism. He said Ruff had been responsible for getting Unger elected and questioned why he had pushed so strongly for a candidate without a legal qualification to lead an office whose operation could have serious legal consequences.

Deák framed the appointment as a test of whether political considerations would take precedence over legal expertise. He ended by warning that the institution could produce “political show trials.”

Political show trials are coming.
