The US administration sanctioned Hungarian minister Antal Rogán for corruption, surprising many as it was expected that such actions would not occur. The Hungarian government, led by Prime Minister Gergely Gulyás, labeled the sanctions as 'petty revenge' from the US. The sanctions are seen as part of a broader geopolitical conflict, with Hungary perceived as drifting away from Western alliances towards Russia and China. Despite the sanctions, Rogán's position is not threatened, and the Hungarian government believes it can navigate the situation, especially with Trump’s presidency on the horizon. The sanctions may not significantly impact public perception of Rogán or the Fidesz party, as previous foreign criticisms have often been turned into political advantages for the government.
