Hungarian Politician Receives Death Threat, Files Police Report
Péter Magyar, leader of Tisza Party in Hungary, receives a handwritten threat and takes legal action.
Péter Magyar, leader of Hungary's Tisza Party, has publicly reported receiving a handwritten death threat aimed at him.
The letter, which he described as threatening 'inhumane acts,' was shared by Magyar on social media.
This incident adds to a series of threats he claims to have received recently.
The politician stated that the threats are a consequence of aggressive political rhetoric, and he has decided to pursue legal action.
He noted that previous attempts to report such incidents to law enforcement did not progress to the point of an official investigation.
In a parallel incident, István Hollik, a member of Hungary's Fidesz-KDNP party, also reported receiving a threat around the same time as a bomb threat targeted nearly 300 schools in the country.
Authorities did not find any explosives following inspections.
These developments are unfolding in the context of heightened political tensions in Hungary.
Both politicians emphasize the role of heated political discourse, suggesting that it might contribute to an environment where such threats occur.
Local and international law enforcement have been engaged to investigate the threats, with some messages connected to international extremism groups.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has also addressed these security issues in public statements.
The Hungarian police are actively investigating these cases under the potential charge of threats to public safety, and the involvement of international police organizations like Interpol indicates the seriousness with which these threats are being taken.
