According to The Washington Post, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service proposed staging an assassination of Orbán to increase his vote share in the April election.
The main political influence operations department of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service stated in a report, "Such an event would shift the focus of the campaign from the rational level of socio-economic issues to the emotional level, with national security, stability, and the protection of the political system becoming key issues."
The report states that no physical attacks on Orbán have occurred so far. However, these facts highlight the high stakes for Russia in the Hungarian election.
