The European Commission investigates Hungary's espionage against EU institutions: what is known

According to hvylya.net: The European Commission has launched an investigation into allegations of espionage by the Hungarian intelligence service against EU institutions and their staff. A spokesman for the European Commission emphasized the seriousness of the situation and promised to protect personnel and information from illegal actions. A special group has been formed to reveal all the circumstances surrounding the events that occurred after the publication of the journalistic investigation.

'The European Commission is examining all reports that the Hungarian intelligence service conducted espionage operations against the EU and its personnel. We take such allegations very seriously and remain committed to protecting the staff, information, and networks of the European Commission from illegal actions of intelligence gathering,'

- emphasized Uzhvary.

The investigation began after data was made public regarding the attempts of Hungarian spies to infiltrate European institutions, which took place in compliance with diplomatic criteria. Hungary has previously come under criticism from the EU for human rights violations and democratic principles, so this situation has become yet another test for relations between Budapest and Brussels.
