Hungary. “Hundub”, new social network or political maneuver?

Finding friends, sharing photos and videos, instant messaging … Contrary to appearances, you are not on Facebook but on Hundub, its certified alternative Hungarian and without censorship . No one will be blocked or deleted because of their political views. […] We will not seek to create trends or influence anyone in any way , assures its founder, Csaba Pál.

The government of Viktor Orbán, which prides itself on fighting the politically correct and judges that a climate of censorship prevails in the West, believes that Facebook is running undercover for its liberal opponents. On December 14, the Minister of Justice, Judit Varga, accused the social network of having made her page less visible after the publication of a comment stressing the decisive role that the company of Mark Zuckerberg will play in the parliamentary elections of spring 2022.

According to independent MP Ákos Hadházy, the dirty money of the Orbán clan is probably behind Hundub. Government could follow Russian model and prepare to shut down Facebook , he said. At the very least, Hundub could be a new channel for Orbán’s Fidesz to reach out to its supporters and collect such valuable data in an election campaign.

The sovereignists in power in Budapest have long feared a destabilization and all the more so today that they find themselves orphans of Donald Trump. Recently, the speaker of parliament, László Köver, estimated that considerable forces will be set in motion in Brussels and the United States in order to influence and manipulate the outcome of the elections ”.
