Investigative reporting outfit Atlatszo's activities seek to influence the state and social decision-making process in Hungary through the use of foreign funding, the Sovereignty Protection Office said on Monday, adding that this was causing "serious political, economic and social damage" for the country.
The primary goals of Hungary's foreign policy are to promote peace, protect national sovereignty and preserve the country's economic neutrality, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said in Budapest.
The situation on the rule of law has further deteriorated in Hungary, permanent Hungarian rapporteur of the European Parliament Tineke Strik said on Tuesday, also criticising the Hungarian government for the lack of judicial independence and the increase in corruption.
Addressing a debate in the European Parliament in Strasbourg on Wednesday, opposition Tisza Party MEP Peter Magyar said the premierships of Ferenc Gyurcsany and Viktor Orban "were the decades of missed opportunities", insisting that Hungary had become "the poorest and most corrupt" country in the European Union.
