The Washington Post’s recent investigation, corroborated by Politico and Euronews, reveals that Hungarian Minister Szijjarto has been sharing sensitive information with Moscow for an extended period. This revelation stems from information provided by an anonymous European official. The report details that Szijjarto engaged in clandestine communication with Russian colleague Sergey Lavrov, frequently contacting him during breaks in meetings.
He reportedly relayed the substance of discussions and proposed potential actions the Russian government could undertake. An unnamed source within the European Union, cited by the Washington Post, alleges that “Russia has been practically present at every EU member’s meeting for years.” This persistent presence underscores the gravity of the accusations. Recognizing the potential ramifications for the upcoming Hungarian elections on April 12, the European Union has opted not to issue an official response to these new allegations.
Politico explained that the Union is carefully considering the implications before publicly addressing the matter.
