A Hungarian transparency watchdog and independent media outlet say they have been targeted in an investigation designed to intimidate voices critical of the government of Hungary’s far-right prime minister, Viktor Orbán.
On Tuesday, Transparency International Hungary, an NGO, and Átlátszó, one of the country’s best-known investigative outlets, said they had received formal notification that they were being investigated as organisations that, “using support from abroad, conduct activities aimed at influencing the will of the voters”.
