According to Kolář, Hungary has ended up economically troubled, riddled with corruption, and under the influence of Vladimir Putin. Referring to the text of the Shield of Democracy, he mentioned that Defense Minister Zůna from SPD ordered the recall of General Haratek from the Information and Cyber Forces. The unit, according to the cited text, was created in 2019 in response to Russian disinformation and was also supposed to address threats on the internet. Kolář wrote that ANO MP Růžička had long attacked the unit and portrayed its training, during which soldiers recorded public posts of prominent individuals on social media, as surveillance of citizens.
