There is currently an insane spy thriller running in #Hungary ICYMI:

A 90min interview with the whistleblower was released too that reveals even more pieces of the puzzle. The whole thing screams for a movie (and long prison sentences).

Inside the covert operation to bring down the party threatening Viktor Orbán’s rule - Direkt36

According to documents obtained by Direkt36, a secret operation was carried out to bring down the IT systems of the Hungarian opposition party Tisza. IT specialists affiliated with the party planned to expose this, but then police officers, pressured by the Hungarian secret services, raided them, apparently on trumped-up charges.

Direkt36 - Direkt36 is a non-profit investigative journalism center with the mission to hold powerful people and institutions accountable.

@sassdawe Btw the video has >1.5M views (not that many people, but a ballpark). This sum is from 25k atm so there's probably much more in the "reserves". I wouldn't be surprised if this one fundraiser would account for 1% of the overall raised *by the whole platform* (that'd require ~4M).
