#Hungary is starting off on its way to closer ties with the #EU with a bang:

"Hungary has quietly expelled Artur Sushkov, a 36-year-old Russian SVR officer posing as a third secretary at the Russian Embassy in Budapest, who spent years networking inside the think-tanks and academic institutions closest to the Orbán government — running informants, recruiting assets, and vacuuming up everything from political intelligence to the Wi-Fi password. The expulsion came months after Hungary's own counterintelligence service had recommended it: the Orbán government blocked the move earlier this year, unwilling to irritate Moscow in the middle of the election campaign. Sushkov and his wife were finally put on a plane on May 4 — weeks after Orbán's defeat removed the political shield that had kept a Russian spy in Budapest."
