Ukraine’s state-owned Oschadbank has launched a two-track international legal campaign to recover assets still held in Hungary after the 5 March convoy seizure, the bank stated. (…)

The incident occurred on 5 March, when Hungary’s Counter-Terrorism Centre (TEK) — a force under the Interior Ministry regularly deployed for government political operations — intercepted the convoy [which was transporting money and gold from Ukraine to Austria] and hid the vehicles on TEK’s closed compound. Budapest then released the seven employees on the evening of 6 March, but the vehicles and valuables remain in Hungary.

    I so hope the Hungarian people will vote him out next time around.

    It’s a vain hope, but I’ll keep believing in it.

    Hungary is a terrorist state. This can’t be tolerated, with or without elections. Everyone is just waiting for the elections… but nothing is assured, and I don’t really have much hope on a transparent process there. Time to act, if this “plays into Orban’s hands” well too bad, that’s the price of decades of stupidity among Hungarian voters. But Hungary must be stopped.
