🔴 27.03.2026 - Orbán’s Inversion: The Spied-On Journalist Branded a Spy
Forbidden Stories stands in full support of investigative journalist @panyiszabolcs, with whom we have worked on multiple cross-border investigations, including the #Pegasus Project.
Panyi is a journalist who was himself targeted with the Pegasus spyware—and is now being accused of “espionage” by the Hungarian government. This reversal is as troubling as it is revealing.
These accusations come just weeks before national elections and follow his reporting, including with VSquare, on Russian influence operations and the proximity between Hungarian authorities and Moscow . His work serves the public interest. It is precisely why it is being attacked.
Turning a journalist into a suspect is a well-worn tactic: when facts are inconvenient, discredit the messenger.
We stand firmly with Szabolcs Panyi.

Eurostar (@EurostarUK) cancelled our train and all others from London ‘til late afternoon and suggest we rebook but where is extra capacity to replace cancelled trains? So of course seats for next 2 days booked out. Although they do thank us for our understanding which is nice.
