Orbán-era contractor funneled billions to pro-government influencers

Leaked internal documents reveal that Lőrinc Mészáros, a Hungarian billionaire and top rail contractor, channeled billions of forints to Megafon influencers, a pro-Orbán propaganda network. The payments, made during the Orbán government's tenure, suggest systematic use of public funds for political messaging. The claim is based on document leaks and is partially corroborated by prior reporting on Megafon's funding.
