A former captain of Hungary’s Constitutional Protection Office has publicly spoken about the political attitudes of those working within the country’s security services.
Intelligence officer speaks about atmosphere in the security services
Bálint Tóth, who left the agency in October 2025, shared his views in a video, emphasising that his decision to speak out was not motivated by resentment. Tóth explained that he resigned voluntarily due to personal reasons and departed on good terms.
Since leaving, he has re-emerged under a different name as a lifestyle influencer. He stressed that his comments were intended to defend the reputation of colleagues in both intelligence and law enforcement, writes 444.
“Many want change”
According to Tóth, a significant number of professionals within Hungary’s police and intelligence community hold opposition-leaning views. He argued that these individuals are committed to protecting the country rather than serving any political party.
“They are just as much hoping for political change as anyone else,” he said, adding that the public often misunderstands the motivations of those in uniform. Tóth also clarified that he would not disclose classified information, noting that his aim was to provide perspective rather than reveal secrets.
He harshly criticised the campaign rhetoric
The former officer criticised what he described as the use of war-related fears in political campaigns in Hungary, calling such tactics “disgusting,” despite acknowledging genuine global security concerns. He pointed to the role of organisations such as NATO and the European Union, arguing that their strategic planning reflects real threats posed by Russia rather than reckless provocation.
Did the government use spyware on Tisza Party’s IT infrastructure?
Hungary’s political landscape is fiercer than ever after fresh allegations from Péter Magyar, leader of the Tisza Party, who claims that sophisticated spyware was deployed against his movement.
According to Magyar, the software in question is Candiru, an Israeli-developed surveillance tool widely regarded as a successor to Pegasus. In his statement on Thursday, Magyar alleged that Hungarian intelligence services not only relied on infiltration, coercion and intimidation, but also used advanced cyber tools to monitor political opponents.
He further suggested that the operation may have involved cooperation with “eastern powers”, raising concerns about potential international dimensions. We recently wrote about the plot that police refused to investigate.
Peter Magyar was the first to come out from the party and government institutions to form and lead a real opposition. What are seeing is that more and more people inside the government and even within the Fidesz party itself such as the mayor of Batonyterenye are saying that Fidesz has to go. Momentum for Tisza is relentless and people know how corrupt the Fidesz government is and they are going to kick these thieving traitors out.
Only Mi Hazánk can deliver a change which will benefit Hungarians, and, happy to say, with Fidesz now negotiating to form a coalition with them, some of that beneficial change will begin.
Amazing bullshit Mouton 😂😂😂
I beleive that it is a very cheap way for Mi hazánk to do an AI bot repeats that nonesense on each article 😂
You are right, Dear Rádzz – I, as well as all others who seem in favour of Mi Hazánk, are actually not real, because there is neither a single person in Hungary nor on the planet earth who actually thinks this way.
@Mouton you just like Mi Hazánk because Toroczkai László parrots Kremlin narratives and is generally pro-Russian – right down from withdrawing from NATO.
Not even talking about the street thugs they are training. Unpleasant is an understatement. But then – you wouldn’t know, because you don’t live here, right?
