On Friday, the Hungarian political scene focused on another dispute between Fidesz and the Tisza party, whose representatives responded to statements by former Minister of Justice Bence Tuzson and to the government's campaign about the so-called Tisza tax. At the same time, information emerged that Fidesz will not take part in five by-elections, including the vote in Békéscsaba. Index.hu ↗
According to published information, support for Fidesz is at a markedly low level. It is stated that a similar situation last occurred during the period of the MSZP–SZDSZ coalition led by Gyula Horn. Meanwhile, the Tisza party also addressed the question of the media council, explaining why the Hungarian journalists' association MÚOSZ was not included in the committee nominating its members. Tisza claims this was not a special political decision, but a procedure following the recently amended media law. HVG ↗
Another topic is the reopening of an investigation on suspicion of breach of duty in the management of another's property in connection with the national consultation on the so-called Tisza tax. The government consultation reportedly cost more than 12 billion forints. Fidesz representatives also continued their criticism of Tisza, with Bence Rétvári claiming that Tisza's decisions benefit multinational companies and worsen the situation for Hungarian citizens.

Tension between the governing party and Tisza thus continues in parallel on several fronts: in the elections, in media regulation, in state-funded campaigns, and in personal political exchanges. Telex ↗
