Government to double donations for flood-hit Szeklerland
Raging floods in Szeklerland have caused widespread damage beyond the catchment area of the Praid salt mine. Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said the government will double donations received from the public media's all-day fundraising for Szeklers in Transylvania, Romania, affected by the flood catastrophe. Botond Barna Bíró, the head of Harghita county council, took part in today's cabinet meeting, PM Orbán noted in a video after Wednesday's meeting. Raging floods in Szeklerland have caused widespread damage beyond the catchment area of the Praid salt mine, he said. 'So we must help Haromszek as well,' he said. The government is coordinating with the Democratic Alliance of Hungarians in Romania (RMDSZ) party on the distribution of aid, and the relevant talks will continue with the RMDSZ president on Thursday, the prime minister said. PM Orbán thanked Hungary's public media for organizing the fundraiser for National Cohesion Day in cooperation with the Ecumenical Relief Organization to help the Szeklerland. The government has added a forint for every one donated, he said in the video posted to his official social media page.

Orbán: War in Ukraine will be ‘longer and more brutal' than anticipated
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán warned that the war in Ukraine would be 'longer and more brutal' than anticipated at the start of the year, and 'we must be ready for intensified covert operations, smear campaigns and war propaganda against Hungary'. In a post on Facebook, PM Orbán announced that he has convened a meeting of the Defense Council for this afternoon, saying 'we must face the fact that transatlantic unity has sharply deteriorated', and referring to the recent intensification of armed action. The prime minister said there was a wide gulf between 'peace-oriented forces' led by US President Donald Trump and leaders in Brussels and Kyiv, who want to prolong the war'. Hungary, he added, must stay on the side of peace, 'even if this means disputes with Brussels will become louder'. 'We must prepare Hungary for attacks with double the force because Hungary is an ally of President Trump,' he wrote, warning of 'intensified covert operations, smear campaigns, and war propaganda against Hungary'. The prime minister concluded: 'We are ready to and will defend Hungary and Hungarian families!'
