A 12-year-old girl was killed in Kyiv last night during a massive missile strike involving 700 drones and 19 ballistic missiles by Russian forces following the #Hungarian prime minister, #PeterMagyar, stating that he will not continue Orban's policy of vetoing #EUfunds to Ukraine.

A 12-year-old girl was killed in Kyiv last night during a massive missile strike involving 700 drones and 19 ballistic missiles by Russian forces following the #Hungarian prime minister, #PeterMagyar, stating that he will not continue Orban's policy of vetoing #EUfunds to Ukraine.

“Hungary’s peace and security today may depend on a single vote; if we miss it, the threat of war could face us, and if we get it wrong, the financial security of Hungarian families will be put at risk," wrote #ViktorOrban on Facebook as the #HungarianElection turnout continues to break records

In this image, Zoltán Demeter, one of the ruling party's Fidesz–KDNP candidates, is allegedly handing an envelope to a voter on election day in #Hungary. The image added to concerns surrounding the fairness of what is expected to be #ViktorOrban's toughest election yet.

The #HungarianElection turnout reached 66% at 15.00, over 10% higher than in 2002, which saw the highest overall turnout since the fall of communism. Many analysts expect this to favor the leading opposition party #Tisza over #ViktorOrban's FIDESZ party.

1) President Jose Antonio Kast says #Chile has taken a hardline approach to immigration since taking office in Chile, with a particular focus on the #Venezuelan community.

In January, Venezuelans in Chile briefly celebrated the fall of Nicolás Maduro, but many now fear a harsher climate for migrants as the country shifts to the right. Read the story by @solotraveller.bsky.social on nacla.org nacla.org/from-hope-to...
