Peter Magyar's Fake News Propagation to be Examined at Upcoming National Security Meeting

Zoltan Sas: Such statements could pose a serious risk to national security. As previously reported by Magyar Nemzet, the left-wing Magyar Hang portal published an article on Sunday claiming that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad had arrived in Budapest in secret. According to the newspaper, the Syrian Air plane landed under the security assurances of Hungary's Counter-Terrorism Center (TEK) at Budapest airport and that airport staff were sworn to secrecy. However, the picture featured in the piece as evidence was was quickly debunked as a photo taken in Ankara back in 2012. Magyar Hang acknowledged the error and retracted the article.
