Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar was targeted by a man who threw wine at him during a visit to a harvest festival in Szekszárd on Saturday. Magyar shared footage of the incident on Facebook and accused the man of being an Orbán supporter, responding to the confrontation with a sarcastic remark about the wasted wine.
Magyar stopped at the Szekszárd Harvest Days on his way back from Pécs, where he had addressed supporters earlier on Saturday. Magyar’s speech in Pécs had included a pointed warning to billionaire Lőrinc Mészáros over the government’s planned takeover of a major motorway concession. He also accused the previous government of neglecting the city and contributing to its financial difficulties, while raising the possibility of partially waiving this year’s solidarity tax for local councils.
According to his Facebook post, he visited the festival at the invitation of local residents and spent time speaking with people and taking photographs.
The visit took an unexpected turn when a man threw wine towards the prime minister. Magyar subsequently published a video of the encounter:
Magyar’s reaction to the incident
In his post, Magyar described the man as a former supporter of Viktor Orbán who had gathered enough courage to confront him after drinking. He suggested that the man had been upset by the atmosphere at the festival and the people approaching him for conversations and photographs. The prime minister also joked that the Szekszárd wine had gone to waste.
He ended his Facebook post with another sarcastic remark:
“At least he didn’t chain me to a fence, as they teach you on HírTV.”
The prime minister was referring to remarks made in HírTV’s Paláver phone-in programme. During Friday’s broadcast, a caller suggested chaining the prime minister to the railing of a stadium stand. Earlier in the week, another caller had spoken about finding a sniper to “eliminate” him.
As we reported earlier, HírTV subsequently dismissed presenter Nóra Palányi for failing to interrupt the latter call immediately, apologised and launched an internal investigation.

Fidesz with 16 years of relentless propaganda created a type of cult with supporters who are detached from reality. It’s likely that many will never change their delusional views.
Funny, after all the apparent shortcomings and apparent hate Orbán was NEVER attacked anywhere by anyone. There is an incident against Magyar now every single week and he’s only been in power for 3 month.
Public access to get anywhere near Orban was strictly controlled. Opposition reporters couldn’t attend his events. Access to events was not wide open.
For 16 years, Fidesz has also weeded out the fact that idiots—types like Larry—see things that were never there🤪.
100%!
The results of the election speak for themselves. We got rid of the Russian agents who removed the 1956 memorial from Kossuth ter as proof of what they were all about. The idiot followers of Fidesz can’t see these things and will ignore the recordings of Szijjarto pledging his devotion to Lavrov and the endemic corruption that stole the money of the people.
This depraved Larry creature is of course as much a hater of Hungarian National interests and supporter of pedophiles and mentally ill drag queens as he is a supporter of Peter Mongrel and his commie band of ragtag, low IQ, globalist upstarts! All will naturally end up, just as the libtard marxist ideology they so vehemently promote, in the dustbin of history!!!
I clearly hit the nail on the head with the truth of my comments because they provoke such a vile reaction from yourself. You need a bar of soap to wash out your mouth and mind if that were possible. Oh and who resigned in the pedophile scandal? Tell us. It was the Fidesz president and justice minister. Please tell us who was “Zsolti bacsi” who abused boys at Szolo utca where politicians are accused of accessing children? People know what was going on with the terrible things Fidesz did so it doesn’t matter what you want to post here.
Magyar’s bodyguards should be more careful for the future.
Luckily it was just wine or water
