Berlin court orders X to hand over data on Hungarian elections
A German court has ordered the social media platform X, owned by Elon Musk, to transfer data related to the upcoming Hungarian elections to a German company funded by the German government for analysis. This move raises concerns about potential interference in the electoral process of a neighboring country.
Longtime Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán faces fierce opposition from Péter Magyar in the April elections, which are seen as a critical test for the country’s political direction. The German initiative could influence Hungary’s internal politics amid complex geopolitical dynamics.
The next development to watch will be how the German company uses the data and whether this influences public opinion and the election outcome in Hungary.
