Source: Sweden Herald

Hungary's pro-Russian prime minister Viktor Orbán has faced headwinds ahead of this spring's elections. To help him, Russian intelligence has hatched a drastic proposal - a staged assassination attempt, according to documents obtained by The Washington Post.

The report, produced by the Russian SVR and obtained by a European intelligence agency, describes a fake assassination attempt on Orbán as a way to shift the election campaign's focus entirely to issues such as security and stability.

It is unclear whether the report has been presented to higher-level officials in Moscow. "This is another example of disinformation," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in response to questions from The Washington Post about the document.

Orbán's nationalist right-wing party Fidesz is facing Péter Magyar's social-conservative Tisza in elections on April 12.
