The political 'war of words' in Hungary continues, with Bertalan Havasi criticizing the government regarding the migration pact, as both sides exchange accusations.

Bertalan Havasi stated that independent media outlets do not frequently get opportunities to question Prime Minister Viktor Orbán because it 'does not fit into the Prime Minister's program,' adding that Orbán, not Fidesz, needs to renew himself.

Bertalan Havasi, a Hungarian official, stated he is willing to go to court if he does not receive his severance pay, emphasizing his desire to decide how to spend the money himself.

Orbán's former press officer, Bertalan Havasi, indicated he would seek new employment, while Gergely Gulyás commented on the accuracy of a political analyst's assessment, reflecting on the changed political environment.

Bertalan Havasi stated that he learned from Orbán that when facing aggression, one should not just smile awkwardly but fight back. This advice was given to public officials called to resign by Magyar.

Hungarian Minister Gergely Gulyás has publicly stated that his social media post was deleted by colleagues and that he considers the dismissal of Bertalan Havasi unlawful. The validity of Havasi's dismissal, linked to a Cabinet Office reorganization, is also being questioned.

Bertalan Havasi, who previously served as Viktor Orbán's press chief, has stated that Péter Magyar is now his boss and that he is currently seeking employment. This reveals a shift in allegiance or professional association for a prominent figure in Hungarian politics.

Bertalan Havasi, former chief of staff to Viktor Orbán, stated he is unconcerned about his own future if Fidesz loses the election, remarking, 'I shrug my shoulders, I don't give a damn' regarding his relatives involved with the Tisza party.

Bertalan Havasi has confirmed he will resume his role as Viktor Orbán's press chief, a position he previously held for 15 years before departing in early 2025.

Hungarian politician Péter Magyar publicly refused to accept severance pay for Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, leading to a heated exchange with government spokesperson Bertalan Havasi, whom Magyar subsequently dismissed. Magyar also made accusations regarding lavish spending at the Curia, which the court denied.

Gergely Gulyás, a Hungarian politician, reportedly did not believe his wife's prediction that they would lose the election, while another official, Bertalan Havasi, considered Medián's numbers realistic during the campaign.

Bertalan Havasi, former press chief to the Hungarian Prime Minister, commented on the ongoing campaign, the role of Orbán Balázs as campaign manager, and the Prime Minister's debate, stating that everyone is free to make 'stupid decisions'.
