Accusing investigative journalists of espionage is unprecedented, this is the hallmark of Putin's Russia, accused journalist says 😔

Szabolcs Panyi, an investigative journalist, faces espionage accusations from the Hungarian government, led by Gergely Gulyás, after a recording surfaced suggesting he had connections with foreign intelligence. Panyi refutes the claims, asserting he has been documenting Russian influence in Hungarian politics. He believes the accusations are a preemptive strike against his investigations. The situation escalates with the government linking him to espionage activities and discussing other espionage cases involving IT specialists. Prime Minister Viktor Orbán also comments on foreign intelligence interference in Hungary.
