EU Commission Seeks Clarification from Hungary Over Alleged Information Leak to Russia
The European Commission has expressed serious concerns regarding reports that Hungary’s Foreign Minister Szijjarto shared confidential EU summit information with Russian counterpart Lavrov.
Commission President Ursula von der Leyen plans to address the issue at the upcoming summit of EU leaders. Allegations suggest that Szijjarto disclosed insights related to Ukraine’s EU membership prospects, prompting French Foreign Minister Barrot to accuse Hungary of betraying EU solidarity. Szijjarto has denied these claims. Meanwhile, Hungary is set to hold parliamentary elections on Sunday, with polls indicating a potential loss of power for Prime Minister Orban’s Fidesz party after 16 years.
