EU anti-fraud investigators probing the company of Viktor Orbán’s son-in-law were surveilled by Hungary’s foreign intelligence agency, which even created an entire department to spy on EU institutions. However, sensitive political information gathered by Hungarian intelligence sparked political and intelligence infighting.
Many political leaders across Europe see Hungary not as a danger to democracy, but as a way to follow, means to cement their power, etc. Almost all societies across Europe are swinging to the right. I am not optimistic.
