 The revelation that Hungarian intelligence officers allegedly operated within EU institutional premises under the watch of the current EU Commissioner Oliver Várhelyi, who at the time served as Hungary’s Permanent Representative to the European Union, poses an unprecedented challenge to the Union's constitutional framework. The Várhelyi affair poses a question the Union has never had to answer so starkly: What happens when a member state treats the institutions it helped create not as a common project, but as hostile territory to be infiltrated and undermined?
