Hungary settles accounts with the Orban era – the Vizsla shows how to point
Der Hündeler, Edition of Wednesday, 11 November 2026
What happened
In Hungary, Aron Orban, the brother of former prime minister Viktor Orban, has been arrested. He is accused of people smuggling; the presumption of innocence applies. According to the NZZ, the arrest is above all symbolic and points to the cronyism of the previous government. Prime Minister Magyar wants to hold those responsible at the time to account.
What does this mean for your Vizsla?
The Magyar Vizsla is not named after the prime minister; “magyar” simply means “Hungarian”. It suits the situation all the same. A pointing dog indicates where something is sitting in the bushes, stands motionless and leaves the rest to those in charge – pretty much the division of labour between investigators and courts. For Vizslas in Switzerland nothing changes: they are still regarded as Velcro on four legs and will follow you all the way to the loo.
What you can do now: Assure the dog that it is not the one being referred to.
