In a statement issued on October 12, the service\u2019s press bureau alleged that Commission President Ursula von der Leyen had pressured Prime Minister P\u00e9ter Magyar\u2019s government to end nuclear cooperation with Russia.<\/p>\n<p>The intelligence service called Politico Europe the campaign\u2019s \u201cmouthpiece\u201d and journalist Ben Makuch its \u201cprovocateur.\u201d It also claimed that European suppliers could not compete fairly with Rosatom and that replacing the Russian company at Paks II with a Western firm would make the project less efficient and less safe. The statement further alleged that von der Leyen had a personal interest connected to the Pfizer vaccine contracts. It provided no publicly verifiable evidence to substantiate these allegations.<\/p>\n<p>Hungary\u2019s new government has said it will review the financing and implementation of Paks II. The project was awarded to Rosatom in 2014 without a public tender, and its cost, schedule and procurement process have faced scrutiny. In 2025, the Court of Justice of the European Union annulled the European Commission\u2019s decision approving state aid for the project. The dispute therefore cannot be presented solely as a media campaign against Rosatom, as the intelligence service alleges.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/eng.dragonmedia.com.np\/?p=27322\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"time\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dragon Media News Desk Russia\u2019s Foreign Intelligence Service has accused the European Commission\u2019s leadership of running a campaign to prevent Rosatom from taking part in Hungary\u2019s Paks II nuclear power project.
