Hungary, Russian plan to boost Orban: fake assassination plot before the vote

Hungary, Russian plan to boost Orban: fake assassination plot before the vote

According to an intelligence report, Moscow considered extreme measures to influence the election

One month before the elections in Hungary, a unit of Russia’s foreign intelligence service reportedly raised concerns about declining public support for Prime Minister Viktor Orban. His close ties with Moscow have long provided the Kremlin with a strategic foothold within NATO and the European Union.

According to a report reviewed by The Washington Post, Russian agents proposed drastic measures to try to influence the outcome of the vote. Among them was the idea of staging a fake assassination attempt against Orban.

The strategy, dubbed “The Gamechanger,” aimed to “radically alter the entire paradigm of the election campaign.” The report notes that such an incident would shift public attention from socioeconomic issues to emotional reactions, focusing the campaign on national security, stability, and the defense of the political system.

The plan was ultimately not carried out. However, ties between Moscow and Budapest remain strong. According to sources cited by the newspaper, Orban’s government has long provided the Kremlin with insight into sensitive discussions within the European Union.
