‘Election by Facebook’ Challenged by Hungarian Nationalist Opposition Leader

Social Media Monopolies and Fair Elections Don’t Fit.

“Facebook made Péter Magyar the Prime Minister”, said the leader of Hungary’s nationalist opposition – now the third party in the country’s new parliament – as he announced a legal challenge to the election result.

László Toroczkai, leader of the Mi Hazánk (Our Homeland) party says that the unscrupulous intervention of tech giants and the conscious manipulation of voters decided the fate of the country. “It was not the Hungarian people, but Facebook that elected the Prime Minister,” he affirms.

Toroczkai exposed the modern form of election fraud at a special press conference. According to the party leader, during the election campaign, social media algorithms consciously suppressed national radical voices, while Péter Magyar and the Tisza Party were artificially inflated. Toroczkai explained that:

“The integrity of the election was damaged when a foreign-owned digital platform became the number one opinion-former, bypassing traditional democratic frameworks.”

According to Mi Hazánk, the aim of the action, led by “digital mercenaries” and Silicon Valley governors, was to eliminate Hungary’s remaining sovereignty. Toroczkai stated:

”The party’s lawyers are already working on the lawsuit, because we cannot let an algorithm dictate the Hungarian future.”

“Technological dictatorship has reached a new level, but Hungarian justice is not for sale.”

The speed of the challenge highlights the dynamic nature of the young leader and his party. Logically, it should have been Orban and Fidesz who drew attention to the election manipulation and went to the courts to seek redress.

Even if the challenge goes nowhere, it has raised a very important point, and it flags the way in which Hungary’s Big new pro-EU Prime Minister can expect constant pressure from Mi Hazánk’s very vocal MPs. This is despite the fact that the organisation sees itself as a movement of the nation, rather than a parliamentary party.
