In a notable development amidst rising diplomatic tensions, Magyar Péter, leader of the Tisza Party, announced his intention to file a formal complaint against Prime Minister Orbán Viktor.

This decision came in response to remarks made by Orbán, who suggested that elements associated with Ukrainian forces had engaged in covert activities aimed at undermining the Hungarian government.

Péter's response to Orbán's claims was swift and emphatic.

During an interview with Klubrádió, he stated, "Of course, I will file a complaint against Orbán Viktor following today’s announcement." He further asserted that accusations of spreading false information and failing to report a crime against the state could be grounds for legal action.

Péter characterized this situation as a significant low point in Orbán's political career, noting that if any part of the prime minister's statements held truth, Orbán should have immediately filed a report rather than post a video on social media.

Orban's comments, delivered in a video accompanying a dramatic musical score, were made after a meeting of the National Defense Council, where he discussed internal and external security issues with senior ministers.

In this presentation, he made more severe assertions regarding the Tisza Party and its alleged involvement in a Ukrainian intelligence operation against the Hungarian Armed Forces, stating, "The Defense Council meeting revealed that the Ukrainians had revived their connections in Hungary to carry out an attack with the assistance of a Hungarian party.

This marks an unprecedented level of interference from a Hungarian opposition party in a Ukrainian covert operation."

This escalation comes on the heels of significant diplomatic actions between Hungary and Ukraine.

On the previous Friday, following announcements from Ukrainian intelligence regarding the exposure of a Hungarian spy network in Transcarpathia, Hungary expelled two Ukrainian diplomats who were operating under diplomatic cover.

In a reciprocal move, Ukraine expelled two Hungarian diplomats.

Additionally, a third Ukrainian national was apprehended in Budapest, with video footage of the arrest shared on the Hungarian government’s official Facebook page.

Since these events, government parties in Hungary have sought to establish a narrative suggesting collusion between the Tisza Party and Ukrainian authorities.

However, tangible evidence supporting these allegations is limited, with the exception of images depicting Ruszin-Szendi Romolusz, a former Hungarian military officer, alongside Ukrainian military leaders during formal meetings.

The involvement of Prime Minister Orbán in escalating these accusations indicates a significant tension in Hungarian-Ukrainian relations, backed by the government’s security apparatus.
