"The European Commission has called for clarity from Hungary after a United States media outlet reported that the country's foreign minister passed on information about negotiations with the European Union to Russia."
"Germany called the allegations against Hungary very serious. Discussions within the EU, including among EU foreign ministers, are confidential, a German Foreign Ministry spokesman said."
"Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is one of the few EU leaders to maintain close ties with Moscow amid Russia's war on Ukraine. He ordered an investigation on Monday into what he called the wiretapping of his foreign minister."
Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban has initiated a probe into serious allegations of wiretapping involving Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto. Reports suggest Szijjarto communicated EU negotiation details to Russia during breaks in meetings. The European Commission has demanded clarity from Hungary, emphasizing the importance of trust among member states. Germany has labeled the allegations very serious, while Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk noted the report's predictability. The situation is exacerbated by Hungary's recent obstruction of a significant loan to Ukraine, straining relations with the EU.
