Gulyas flags possible election interference from abroad

The prime minister's chief of staff has flagged the possibility of interference from abroad in Hungary's upcoming general election. Gergely Gulyas added, however, that such an intervention would not change the outcome. In the interview in the weekly Demokrata, Gulyas noted the Hungarian government's "opposition to the European mainstream" on key issues, and he warned of "an attack" from abroad rather than "recognition" of the government's policies. Referring to "the western European elite", he insisted it wanted to take over "the helm of Hungary's ship".
