Hungary's use of facial recognition violates EU AI Act (euractiv.com)

Péter Magyar has emerged exactly 1 year and 5 days ago, he went from a nobody to looking more and more like the end to Orbán's reign.

Orbán has been complacent because the opposition was fragmented and useless, but now it looks like it's the end of the line for them and they are scrambling and just digging themselves deeper and deeper. They attack Péter Magyar with all sorts of unprofessional and childish insults, they leaked his medical records, however each time they do this, it usually backfires spectacularly.

A rapper named "Majka" has made a song about a prime minister of a country called "Bindzsistan", of course everyone knew who he was referring to and FIDESZ members made the fatal mistake of reacting to it, thereby confirming that they do believe that they are the corrupt establishment the song is about. We are now at the stage where Magyar Péter is the pop culture cool guy and FIDESZ is the uncool party.

I believe that the best thing Orbán and his party can do is: shut up, but they won't due to their arrogance.

Most Hungarians either indifferent about the Pride parade or they support it, attacking it earns FIDESZ very little.

In Hungary the interpretation of the GDPR is so hardline that it's virtually impossible to install security cameras, I find this move incredibly hypocritical and believe that if the EU values their credibility they will act, otherwise we can conclude that the GDPR was a complete waste of money.
