Orbán: During the first period of my compulsory military service, they tried to recruit me, but I refused, so the attempt ended unsuccessfully.

Viktor Orbán revealed that during his military service, he was approached to become an informant but refused. He shared documents on social media in response to claims by former Prime Minister Miklós Németh about having seen Orbán's agent reports. Orbán stated he and his family were under constant surveillance by the state party, which employed various espionage methods against them. The Fidesz party defended Orbán, asserting he was the one being monitored by the communist regime. Historian Krisztián Ungváry expressed skepticism about the reliability of Németh's claims and emphasized the need for evidence regarding Orbán's alleged past as an informant. A significant release of state security documents is set to occur, revealing thousands of names, which may include many individuals' relatives.
