Ukrainian spy scandal in Hungary: Péter Magyar says that the detained "spy", Holló, was in PM Orbán's inner circles
- Péter Magyar, challenger to Prime Minister Orbán in the 2026 elections, revealed an espionage scandal involving Ukrainian national István Holló, a former close associate of Orbán arrested by Hungarian authorities.
- Magyar claims the scandal arose after Orbán's propaganda outlets accused Magyar's Tisza Party and exposed Holló's joint businesses with former Fidesz MP András Kupper and his father.
- Holló maintained business ties within Orbán's elite system until September 2024, while Tasnádi, a Hungarian interior ministry secretary linked to these firms, began liquidating billion-forint assets amid the controversy.
- Minister Péter Szijjártó condemned foreign-financed espionage attempts, stating, "We shall protect Hungary's sovereignty and honour," and called recent Ukrainian secret service activity a significant threat.
- The incident highlights internal tensions within Orbán's regime labeled a "Fidesz mafia" by Magyar and suggests ongoing foreign influence attempts ahead of Hungary's 2026 elections.
