Quote from Tykhyi: "Lectures about corruption from a politician who is embroiled in corruption scandals and has made his country the poorest in the EU? No, thanks."

Details: Tykhyi added an edited image to his tweet, depicting Orbán in a suit with zebra-like stripes.

The image alludes to a recent corruption scandal in Hungary linked to a mansion belonging to Orbán, where journalists found a private zoo with exotic animals such as zebras.

Background: In late September, protesters gathered outside the gates of Orbán's mansion, carrying anti-government slogans and zebra-shaped balloons.
