It has been a year since the Pegasus scandal broke out, and developments in the case have since then demonstrated that even surveillance that breaches fundamental rights can comply with the letter of the law in Hungary. Representing seven people affected by the scandal, we are taking their cases to all possible Hungarian and international forums to fight against these unlawful practices. These are our takeaways from the past year.
In Hungary, the erosion of the constitutional state and the elevation of corruption to the status of a public policy tool are happening simultaneously, in close connection with each other, mostly hidden behind some alleged public interest objective. In the last two years, this alleged public interest objective has been to control the pandemic. K-Monitor and the Hungarian Civil Liberties Union have been documenting this process since the start of the pandemics. The summary and final report of this work covers the period from March 2020 to March 2022. In our report, we present the most significant changes in the last two years that have increased opacity and hampered the fight against corruption, budgetary irregularities, the outsourcing of public assets and measures that disproportionately affect opposition municipalities.
The devastating war in Ukraine is one of the key challenges of this time in Europe, and especially in Hungary that shares a border with the attacked country. Russia has been using state financed propaganda to disseminate disinformation worldwide. Despite the restrictive measures put in place by the European Union targeting Russia Today and Sputnik, Russian war propaganda has been continuously disseminated in Hungary. The Hungarian Civil Liberties Union and Political Capital filed a joint complaint to the European Commission.
European election observers and Hungarian civil society organisations call on EU Member State governments to honour OSCE ODIHR’s recommendations and second election observers to Hungary for the parliamentary elections on April 3
We consider it important to highlight the following to our followers and partners concerning the article just published in the Hungarian propaganda media, which seeks to discredit a member of our staff and independent journalism.
The Hungarian Civil Liberties Union (HCLU) is taking legal action on behalf of six of its clients before the Hungarian authorities, the European Commission, the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg and in Israel. The organisation aims to expose the practice of unlawful secret surveillance, to have international fora declare that the Hungarian regulation of secret information gathering violates fundamental rights and to prevent politically motivated abuses.
NGOs have always been at the forefront of freedom of action. Civic activists, who were organised into political parties and citizens who acted as citizens to protect their environment, were also the main force behind the regime change of 1989-90. Only grassroots organisation, involvement and activation can offer effective solutions to oppressive regimes.
Civil rights organisations push the European Commission and the European Anti-Fraud Office to release a report about the wrongdoings of Hungarian PM Viktor Orban’s son-in-law. The watchdogs now urge the European Commission and Anti-Fraud Office to implement the ruling with no delay.

In Hungary, the possession and consumption of illegal substances (in legal terms: “drugs”) is prohibited by law, therefore the act of committing an offense or merely suspicion entails criminal proceedings. However, the end result of this — that is, whether you get a penalty, and if so, what kind and how much — depends largely on what decisions you make during the process.
With our publication, we want to help you learn about the proceedings that can be initiated in the case of illegal possession and consumption of small amounts of drugs. Our goal is that if you find yourself in a similar situation, you can get the best possible outcome for you through making the right decisions.
