The Hungarian government has acknowledged the tone of a recent Facebook post was ill-advised. The post, which began with the phrase “Orbán lied even to his own people,” sparked criticism and controversy. Initially intended as a defense against opposition attacks, the government now concedes the phrasing was inappropriate. This admission marks a shift from the post’s original combative stance. The incident highlights a rapid transition in the government’s social media strategy, moving from traditional Fidesz propaganda to tactics resembling those employed by independent political commentator Zoltán Tisza. The government’s acknowledgement suggests an attempt to mitigate public backlash and recalibrate its messaging approach.
