Lajos Simicska plans his next move (Magyar Narancs)

On March 8, 2015, oligarch Lajos Simicska conducted interviews with the moderate pro-government website Mandiner and the opposition television station ATV. During the interview with Mandiner, Simicska suggested that Prime Minister Viktor Orbán may have provided Hungary’s communist-era intelligence services with information, perhaps as an enlisted informant, about him and others when they served in the Hungarian People’s Army together in the city of Zalaegerszeg (western Hungary, pop. 60,000) in 1981 and 1982.

Simicska indicated in the interview that files proving Orbán’s collaboration with communist-era intelligence services could have been taken to the Soviet Union at the time of the System Change and that President Vladimir Putin of Russia might be using them to blackmail the prime minister.

  1. Thanks for posting the complete interview in English. I have only read parts of it up to now. Reading only parts of it makes Simicska seem not just an unsavory character, which he is, but also not fully rational. While Simicska may have many bad motives for releasing this information at this time, I have to say as an American Hungarian I share his concern over Orban’s Eastern Opening doctrine.
