The claims of espionage cap off a tumultuous week in Hungarian politics, in which relations with the EU plummeted to new lows and polls suggested that Orbán’s Fidesz party is still lagging behind in support before next month’s election.// w @ashifa_k theguardian.com/world/2026/mar…

Our colleague @panyiszabolcs, a journalist for @VSquare_Project (a Central European investigative outlet run by the Polish @FReporterow, part of OCCRP's global network), has come under a brutal, coordinated attack by the Hungarian government. Following his latest investigation into Russian influence in Budapest, the government launched a smear campaign against him. The objective is clear: to undermine his findings, distract the public, and discredit a reporter who reveals compromising information about the regime. This is unfolding in the final days of an election campaign where, for the first time in over a decade, Orbán’s grip on power is under serious threat. More details here: vsquare.org/statement-on-s…

Orbán released a video speaking to his daughters on the phone. “I’m sure you’ll see on the news that the Ukrainians have threatened not only me but you as well,” he said, apparently emotional. “My kids and my grandkids … We have to take this seriously but we must not be scared.”
