PM Orbán talks about armed Tisza politician Ruszin-Szendi; Péter Magyar fights back with bullet wound story
Change language:
Weapons, violence and “armed speakers” have no place in Hungarian public life, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said on Facebook on Tuesday, commenting on a video recording showing Tisza defence expert Romulusz Ruszin-Szendi appearing at a forum, with the outline of a firearm visible under his clothing. Péter Magyar fought back with the Hungarian defence minister’s “bullet wound” story.
Weapon-wielding politicians?
“I have been in parliament for 35 years, but I don’t remember anyone holding a town hall meeting with a weapon at his side…” Orbán said. “Is this possible? It seems it is, with Tisza.”

“The world is becoming harsher and harsher, tragedy follows tragedy from Bratislava to the US. Let Hungary remain an island of peace,” he said.
Péter Magyar responded with a bullet wound story
In a Facebook post, Péter Magyar pointed out that the former chief of the Hungarian Defence Forces has permission to carry a firearm. He also noted that politicians from the Tisza party regularly receive death threats.
