I've seen a lot of takes that Orbán's defeat means that he was never an authoritarian in the first place. This is completely wrong — and, in fact, betrays a complete misunderstanding of both Hungarian politics and modern authoritarianism. Here's why.

We asked guests to tell us their favourite German word at a reception for German-speaking civil servants, as part of #ShoutOutForGerman week. Alongside some top-notch animal names, we got some fantastic compound words and a few untranslatables too! What's yours? 🤔

Besonderer Dank gilt der #ASEAN-Präsidentschaft & dem Observation Team. Ihre Rolle bleibt entscheidend, um ein Wiederaufflammen zu verhindern. Die Waffenstillstandsvereinbarung kann nur ein erster Schritt zu dauerhaftem Frieden sein — dazu muss der Dialog fortgesetzt werden. 2/2

Der Waffenstillstand zwischen #Thailand und #Kambodscha macht Hoffnung. Nach Wochen der Gewalt ist er wichtiger Schritt für Sicherheit & Stabilität — vor allem für die Binnenvertriebenen. Jetzt gilt es, dass beide Seiten die Vereinbarung konsequent einhalten. 1/2

The conflict between Thailand and Cambodia must not be allowed to spiral further. That’s why the ceasefire needs to be immediately restored. I will continue to engage to help get out of the escalation cycle. The EU can offer satellite imagery for ceasefire monitoring. This is the message I conveyed to Foreign Ministers of Thailand and Cambodia when I spoke to them this morning.

Online scams, including fake websites, social media accounts and manipulated content can cause serious harm – including for those lured into working in inhumane conditions in scam centers. A form of organized crime, 🇩🇪 stands with 🇹🇭 and its partners to address this scourge.
