Massive respect to Szabolcs Panyi for uncovering what we all suspected: the Orbán regime isn’t just "Russia-friendly"—it’s an active subcontractor for Putin’s interference in European democracy. This leaked transcript from 2020 is a disgrace. It shows Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó literally begging Sergey Lavrov to help the Slovak "Social Democrats" (Smer) win their election. While pretending to be "conservatives," they’d rather back a nominal leftist in Bratislava as long as he bows to the Kremlin. It’s a coordinated assault on Central European stability. If you still believe Orbán fights for "Hungarian interests”, you’re missing the fact that those interests now seem to be dictated from Moscow. Share this. Don’t let them bury the truth. 🇭🇺🇪🇺 Transcript: “14.02.2020 PS: Hello Sergey, Peter here. Thank you for talking to me. As I understand you are in Munich, at the conference, right? SL: Yes, I am in Munich. PS: I don’t want to bother you but the Prime Minister asked me to do it, because we have kinda big plea for you. As you know then there are elections coming up in Slovakia 29.02 and it is of key importance to us that the coalition there would continue. I understand it may sound strange coming from Hungarian conservatives but we are hoping for social democrats since they are the only rational force in Slovak political landscape and the only ones who are acting without foreign interference. All others are basically funded by Soros. If the opposition wins then it would be a tragedy for the Central European cooperation. It is also important that the speaker Danko’s Slovak National Party would cross the 5% threshold. We hope they manage it but the only hope for the coalition to continue is when the ruling party wins elections. The prime minister Pellegrini was here yesterday and he told us that if your prime minister would host him even for half an hour it would be of great help for winning the elections. He told us it is way more important for their society than a visit to Washington. So he asked us to ask you, and we also want to ask it ourselves, if such thing could be organized that your PM would host Slovak PM in Moscow somewhere in February... SL: It’s quite a plea but I’ll pass it on to PM. PS: I understand. It would be great if you’d manage to organize it. Pellegrini asked for our help in that regard since he knows we have good relations and that our presidents also have good personal relations. And he trusted us in this matter. SL: Peter, I will pass this plea on today and will be in contact as soon as I have any updates. PS: Thank you. And let me emphasize it once more how important it is for us that the coalition in Slovakia continues. If they can’t continue then there is no hope for pragmatic cooperation in Central Europe and we would lose a lot. SL: I understand. PS: You have no idea how grateful I am that we are having this conversation. It is a sign of friendship. SL: Any time, my friend. All the best.”

The news that Orbán’s people inform Moscow about EU Council meetings in every detail shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. We’ve had our suspicions about that for a long time. That’s one reason why I take the floor only when strictly necessary and say just as much as necessary.
