Call for Hungarian ministers to resign in wake of Pegasus revelations

Orban's likely challenger demands action over claims journalists and politicians were potential targets

Hungary's opposition has called for ministerial resignations from Viktor Orban's far-right government over allegations it selected journalists, media owners and opposition political figures as potential targets for invasive Pegasus spyware.

The allegations, published last week by the Guardian and other members of the Pegasus project consortium, were backed up in a number of cases with forensic analysis of mobile devices carried out by Amnesty International, which showed phones had been infected with Pegasus, sold by the Israeli company NSO Group.
