According to information from the secret services, the Ukrainian state is said to have launched a smear campaign against Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. The participants of the meeting of the parliamentary committee on national security were informed of this on Tuesday, wrote the Fidesz parliamentary group leader and member of the committee on Facebook.
Máté Kocsis added that the alleged smear campaign by the Ukrainian state “has the declared aim of undermining the international image of the head of government and weakening Hungary’s ability to assert its interests.”
“The aim of the current operation is to use the press and Hungarian and foreign journalists to publish articles and materials, even with false content, capable of negatively influencing international public opinion,” the group leader wrote.

Kocsis noted that “Ukrainians have provided a considerable amount of money for the dissemination of these articles and materials.” He added: “the work and gathering of information, the fabrication of fake news by Ukrainians has already begun, and some members of the Hungarian press are also involved.”
❗️”For those who can be bought, nothing is too expensive,” said Máté Kocsis, leader of the Fidesz parliamentary group, after today’s National Security Committee meeting.

“Part of the press, which claims to be independent, is now even ready to sell the country for Ukrainian money,” the group leader emphasized. “Nothing is too expensive for those who can be bought,” was the motto of the Fidesz politician’s contribution.
There will only be more clarity in this matter when the secret services provide concrete evidence of this hybrid warfare. However, it can be assumed that the Kyiv regime is quite prepared to “cast out demons by Beelzebub,” i.e. to take measures similar to those which Russia is accused of.
The involvement of Ukrainian citizens in the organization of “spontaneous” rallies against the Fico government is striking and has so far led to the expulsion or entry bans of those involved.
At the end of January, both Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico and Slovak head of state Peter Pellegrini declared, citing intelligence information, that a foreign-funded network, which is also linked to opposition parties, was operating in the country in order to undermine the country’s constitutional order and force the resignation of the government through artificially staged events.
According to the Slovak Prime Minister, this “group of experts” was also involved in the protests in Georgia and the Maidan rally in Ukraine. A similar scenario is currently playing out in another allied neighboring country, Serbia. Foreign-funded experts from the former Otpor movement are said to be pulling the strings in the background of the rallies against the Belgrade government by politically instrumentalizing the dissatisfaction of citizens over possible corruption in the renovation of the Novi Sad train station.
