In his letter, the prime minister referred to remarks by businessman Lajos Simicska, who had said that while doing military service together, Orbán was made to “report on him”.

Orbán, who had flatly denied Simicska’s charges earlier, said that “we were targets of secret investigations, it was us that were harrassed, tapped, it was us that were watched by secret agents and we were the ones the police assaulted”.

Socialist head of the parliamentary committee Zsolt Molnár regretted that Orbán declined to show for the meeting, and insisted that the prime minister should respond to the charges made against him in parliament.
