EU Cuts Hungary Intelligence Access
Hungary's foreign minister Péter Szijjártó was accused of leaking EU talks to Russia. The European Union and Germany expressed concern at these reports.
The EU then took away Hungary's access to classified intelligence. Several European leaders said they had suspected the leaks for some time.
Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said his foreign minister's phone was wiretapped. He launched a check into the alleged wiretapping.
Klear Note — The EU shares classified intelligence with member countries for security. Leaking this information to Russia is a serious breach of trust.
