Russia is a security risk. Everyone knows the Russians, not the Russian people, they are fantastic people, but the Russian bear. In Hungarian history, we felt it before and they were here for a long time. So we know exactly what this is about and Europe, also individual member states separately, must be able to protect and defend itself. – Péter Magyar

🇪🇸 Spanish PM Sanchez’s wife charged with corruption
Begoña Gómez, the wife of Spanish far-left Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, has been formally charged with multiple corruption-related offenses, including influence peddling, business corruption, embezzlement, and misappropriation.
The investigation began in April 2024 following a complaint by the anti-corruption group Manos Limpias, which accused Gómez of using her position to influence public contracts and secure university sponsorships.
At the time, Pedro Sánchez took a five-day “period of reflection” to consider resigning over the allegations before ultimately deciding to remain in office.
