MOSCOW, August 13. /TASS/. The leadership of the European Commission is aiming to achieve regime change in Budapest, which Brussels perceives as an obstacle to a "united Europe," as follows from a statement by the press bureau of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), received by TASS.

"The European Commission is aiming for a change of power in Hungary," the press release reads. "The press bureau of the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) of the Russian Federation informs that, according to the information coming to the SVR, the European Commission perceives Hungary’s current leadership as an increasingly serious obstacle to a united Europe."

The press bureau noted that "Brussels is outraged by the attempts of Budapest to pursue independent policy and influence collective decision-making, primarily on Russia and Ukraine."

"Hungary’s recent decision to veto the new seven-year EU budget project, which Budapest believes is designed for the militarization of Europe and preparation for war with Moscow, has become the last straw that made the euro-bureaucrats lose their patience," the SVR added.

According to the SVR, the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen is seriously studying Hungary’s regime change scenarios.
