Is PM Orbán’s son helping the Russian military intelligence?

The visits of Orbán’s son, Gáspár Orbán, to Chad and Niger, both with Russian ties, raise concerns about his role as a conduit between the Kremlin and Europe. Reports suggest potential involvement in uranium deals to bolster Russian influence and counter French presence in Africa.

Investigation about Orbán’s son

As HírKlikk writes, VSquare, Direkt36 and Le Monde are set to unveil together the truth behind the military mission of Orbán’s son in Chad. The news sites have found that Viktor Orbán’s son, operating from within the Carmelite, has reportedly played a significant role in establishing a national security body akin to the US President’s National Security Council, despite lacking official authority. He has been involved in organising the military mission in Chad and is assisting the prime minister’s newly appointed chief national security adviser, all under a veil of secrecy. His responsibilities extend to foreign policy, diplomacy and potentially trade.

An alleged mission?

As VSquare has reported, the alleged mission of Orbán’s son, Gáspár Orbán, in Chad, focused on “terrorism and migration control,” is seen by some as a pretext, with suspicions arising that Hungary aims to establish a military intelligence centre in the region. Allegations suggest Russian influence, possibly encouraged by Sergey Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister active in Africa. With the French and Americans withdrawing from Chad and Niger, the geopolitical landscape in the region is shifting. A Central European government official told VSquare:

What we’ve heard is that the Hungarian government also intends to establish a military intelligence centre in Chad, which concerns us. Since Prigozhin’s death and the disintegration of the Wagner group, Russia has lost some influence in Africa. We fear that this Hungarian military intelligence center could potentially serve Russian interests, and I suspect Kremlin officials like Sergey Lavrov, Russia’s main face in Africa, encouraged the Hungarians.

The real objective of the mission

Reports suggest that Orbán’s interest lies in gaining access to Chad’s uranium reserves to aid Russian interests, potentially ousting French influence. Orbán’s son, Gáspár Orbán, is seen as a key link between Budapest and Moscow, raising concerns about sensitive data leakage from the EU and NATO to Russia. The report speculates on joint operations between the Orbán regime and Russian military intelligence, suggesting a potential escalation in Hungary’s actions. HírKlikk notes that if this shocking information is true, we can rightfully fear Hungary’s aggressive steps in Europe and beyond. In addition, the Hungarian capital is potentially involved in the European operations of the Russian military intelligence service GRU.
