DK: Justice minister refuses to meet Pegasus committee
Ronai told an online press conference that the committee was scheduled to investigate “the illegal use of spyware by the Orbán government” during its visit on Monday and Tuesday next week.
Despite the cabinet’s claims that it had nothing to do with the Pegasus scandal in July 2021, Varga has now “practically made a confession”, Ronai said.
The minister said she rejected to meet the delegation because national security affairs were the member states’ competency and the EU had no business with them, Ronai said.
“However, Judit Varga is obviously afraid of getting caught and giving such an excuse equals to a confession, which shows that the government has indeed illegally wiretapped innocent Hungarians”, he added.
