"Peter Magyar stated that the government appeared to be colluding with Russia, thereby betraying Hungarian and European interests, and called for an investigation into the matter."
"The European Commission expressed concern over reports that Hungary's foreign minister disclosed information from closed-door EU meetings to his Russian counterpart, emphasizing the need for trust among member states."
"If confirmed, the alleged sharing of confidential EU information could amount to treason, which carries a potential life sentence, according to Magyar's statements on social media."
Peter Magyar, leading in Hungary's elections, has called for an investigation into alleged sharing of confidential EU information with Russia, suggesting treason. The European Commission seeks clarification on these claims. Reports indicate Hungary's foreign minister, Peter Szijjarto, may have disclosed details from EU meetings to Russia's Sergei Lavrov. Magyar, a former member of the ruling Fidesz party, leads the Tisza party and is challenging Viktor Orban's long-standing premiership. Relations between Hungary and the EU have deteriorated, especially after Orban's recent actions against EU support for Ukraine.
