BREAKING NEWS – Terror alert heightened in Hungary, says pro-government site – UPDATE
Change language:
According to Magyar Nemzet, the terror alert level in Hungary has been heightened following Sunday’s Defence Council meeting. However, the government has yet to issue an official statement.
As previously mentioned, Viktor Orbán convened the Defence Council on Sunday in response to Iran’s attack on Israel. Following the meeting, he expressed a commitment to safeguarding Hungarian families from the repercussions of global conflicts. More details are available here.
According to a Magyar Nemzet article, the Prime Minister’s announcement prompted an escalation in the terror alert level, as per his request.
Elevated terror alert: what does this entail?
It means enhanced intelligence sharing, heightened security measures for high-profile facilities and dignitaries and increased police presence in public spaces, mass gatherings and Jewish-affiliated institutions.
It is probable that security measures for key figures in the country, such as the Prime Minister, the President of the Republic, the Speaker of the House, members of the Government or heads of the judiciary, have already been bolstered. Citizens can expect to encounter more armed patrols in major urban areas, and the Hungarian Defence Forces may also be deployed.
Why? I can understand the UK, France or Germany upping the terror threat, because those countries actively engage in global anti terrorism. But Hungary? Is just all gas and hot air.
My guess is that they will use the current events as a way of tightening the screw on the opposition parties in the up and coming elections.
Interestingly enough, the real threat to the Jewish community is still from the right wing Christian fundamentalists, like FIDESZ.
i am glad they have extra security, this is why i live here instead of Canada.
Anna you are glad that Hungary has increased the threat levels and security, which is why you live in Canada???????????????????
No Conservative anywhere, should listen to the Washington Post (WAPO). WAPO is a lying biased rag. In its entire history it has NEVER endorsed a Conservative or GOP presidential candidate.
