Ferenc Gaál
Brussels-based Europe correspondent
Ferenc covers EU affairs with a focus on Hungary and its neighboring countries in English, German and Hungarian
He joined the Brussels team in August 2025 as a correspondent for Programs for Europe. Before that, he completed DW’s traineeship and reported for DW Hungarian as well as the "Politics and Current Affairs" department.
Ferenc studied media and European politics in Berlin, Strasbourg and Groningen and started at DW in 2021. Before becoming a journalist, he spent time at an anti-corruption NGO, where he developed his lasting interest in transparency and accountability.
When Ferenc is not writing, filming or editing, you'll probably find him on his bike, or curiously lost in a rabbit hole.
