EU trust in Hungary shaken by spy allegations - News in Depth - TVP WORLD

"“The idea of a Hungarian spy ring is really sending shock waves here in Brussels,” says Alex Cadier, TVP World’s Brussels correspondent, in conversation with Ashim Kumar on News in Depth.

They discuss the explosive allegations of a Hungarian espionage network operating in Brussels, possibly targeting EU institutions.

While foreign spying in the EU capital isn’t new, Cadier notes that involvement from an EU member state is almost unprecedented—making this case particularly unsettling.

He also points to a notable shift in tone from the European Commission, which is moving away from its usual “no comment” stance and setting up a group to investigate, suggesting the allegations are being taken seriously.

With trust in Hungary on the line, the conversation turns to whether the EU will ramp up pressure, demanding clearer proof that Hungary is still playing by the rules."
