Breaking: Hungarian politicians paid by Moscow to spread Putin propaganda?
Change language:
Hungarian politicians may have been part of a Moscow-funded propaganda network uncovered by the Czech secret service, Spiegel reports. Half a dozen European intelligence services were involved in uncovering the propaganda network, with money going to German, Belgian, French, Dutch and Polish politicians as well as the Hungarian.
Extensive propaganda network
Hungarian politicians may have been part of a Moscow-funded propaganda network uncovered by the Czech secret service, hvg.hu reported on Wednesday, citing Spiegel.
The group spread narratives through the Prague-based Voice of Europe news portal aimed at discouraging the European Union from helping Ukraine in its fight against the Russian army,
Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala said on Wednesday.
According to Fiala, the BIS, the Czech security information service, found that the pro-Russian network had been carrying out activities that “have serious consequences for the security of the Czech Republic and the EU”. The group had been agitating in the EU against “the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine” and its activities had reached the European Parliament.
Voice of Europe no longer available
The Czech daily Deník N reported that the Voice of Europe news website had published statements by politicians calling on the EU to stop aid to Ukraine.
The operator of the website “voiceofeurope.com” is registered in Prague and is active on social networks such as Facebook and X (formerly Twitter), where it has more than 180,000 followers. Voice of Europe was no longer available on Wednesday evening.
If Hungarian intelligence services had been involved, I think it is a safe bet that our Politicians would have tried to veto the investigation!
No surprise. The majority of Hungarians have been brainwashed by Russian propaganda pushed by Fidesz for years. Why do you think Orban and Szijjarto meet with evil tyrant Putin and his right hand Lavrov on a regular basis? They work together. Hungary is under considerable Russian control.
It is now coming out that the 2023 Russian release of 11 allegedly ethnic Hungarian POWs to Hungary was a Putin-Orban propaganda ploy. Only one of the 11 was actually an ethnic Hungarian but they used this deception to play on the Hungarian community and drive a wedge between Hungary and Ukraine.

Interesting!
Majority of the US want stop funding the Ukraine war and many want out of NATO and let them fund it. Yet the majority don’t pay the 2% of NATO fees. You poor fools that think cutting off comunication to Putin is the answer. The US is funding the killing. Orban and trump are best chance to end it.
@TM – NATO is not a “club” and there is no thing as dues and fees … Everyone is waking up to Mr. Putin´s Russia´s threat, spend is up across the board … Better late than never.
I assume if Hungary would be in the cross hairs and not a NATO Member, you would be the one running out with the white flag? Saving lives? Democracy be damned, rather be slaves than fight. Back to the good old days!
Could potentially see Mr. Putin take a stab at probing how committed NATO is to Article 5 – in particular if Mr. Trump returns and does as he promises (e.g. isolationist, potentially pulling the US out of NATO).
Be careful what you wish for.
