Hungary plans to create an intelligence center in Africa - media
Viktor Orbán's son, Gaspar Orbán, is actively involved in Hungary's participation in a strange military mission in Chad. Additionally, information has emerged that Orban Jr. is confidentially helping his father create a new national security advisory group. These circumstances raised eyebrows among Hungary's allies in NATO and the EU. Source: VSquare

The Central European official in charge of security affairs expressed concern, arguing that the mission's stated goals in Chad, such as fighting terrorism and controlling migration, were likely pretexts.

He also expressed concerns about the possible creation by Hungary of a military intelligence center in Chad, which could serve Russian interests.

However, despite the increased tensions, a senior EU diplomat in Budapest noted that the Hungarian government remained committed to sending 200 soldiers to Chad .

The deployment comes at a time when the Hungarian military is strengthening both inside and outside its borders. Budapest is also seeking to build trust in the eyes of its Western partners and develop its strategy towards sub-Saharan Africa.

Prime Minister Tusk declares unlimited resources for Poland’s security
During a meeting with soldiers of the Polish Army and Border Guard officers in Karakule, eastern Poland on Saturday, Prime Minister Donald Tusk assured that “there will be no limits when it comes to securing the border,” recalling that the Polish frontier have been put under constant pressure from Belarus, which is waging "a hybrid warfare" against Poland.

The Prime Minister paid a visit to the Podlaskie Province early on Saturday. After a briefing with soldiers of the Polish Army and officers of the Border Guard and Police in the Military Task Group Podlasie, he emphasized that there is a need to “strengthen the border—both in connection with the pressure organized by the regime of President Lukashenka and also in connection with the growing threat resulting from Russia’s aggression on Ukraine and the uncertain geopolitical situation.”
