Hungary’s accusations of “foreign interference” in their upcoming parliamentary election have reached a crescendo with the release of clandestinely recorded conversations between the country’s foreign minister and his counterparts.

A series of reports appeared in the Hungarian press on Wednesday documenting Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto’s phone conversations with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on the sidelines of European Union summits. The recordings and their transcripts show how Szijjarto kept the Kremlin informed of EU debates regarding the future of Ukrainian membership in the confederation.
