Hungary's defense minister said an overhaul of senior-level military brass was underway in the NATO member state, which he called necessary to open the way for a new generation of leadership.
Those affected formed the "Backbone" of Hungary's army who have NATO military experience, Agnes Vadai, a former Defense Ministry state secretary and member of the opposition DK party, told ATV television on Jan. 19.
The defense minister said the moves wouldn't affect the nation's military capabilities, its NATO standing or allegiance to the alliance.

Hungary’s defense minister said an overhaul of senior-level military brass was underway in the NATO member state, which he called necessary to open the way for a new generation of leadership.
The timing of the changes — with war raging on in neighboring Ukraine — has sparked criticism from opposition ranks that see it as an attempt to reshape the military’s top brass into one more loyal to Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who has spent over a decade consolidating power. >

Ah haven’t we seen this before in another country? 🤔 The great purge >

Orban is a dictator like Purin >

More like a dictators pet. >

Must have been worried the general would oppose him. >

Newer generation of generals who coincidentally got their degrees and military training in Moscow, but nothing to see here folks. Just normal succession planning in Russ… I mean Hungary. >


generals who coincidentally got their degrees and military training in Moscow

How can a "general", who isn't even 45 years old yet, have a degree and a military training from Moscow when Hungary is a NATO member since 1999? >

It’s a joke brother about how close Orban is to Putin and how supposedly the purge is related to booting NATO-sympathetic generals >

A joke? No, a smear attempt. It was stated like it would be a fact. >

Oh no, I feel so bad a joke went over your head and it looked like a smear of your favorite dictator. 
Day ruined. 
LOL >

Sounds more like a purge. >

"Overhauls", as in "replaced every non-loyalist with political operatives that are obedient to the party in power".
