Those two are not really related. Chatcontrol was tied to Hungary now, because it is the current head of EU, it cycles every half year between member states. And this news is about defending the knowledge about the local royal family, the Orbáns. This scandal also happened years ago, it was just revealed recently.
The government also used Pegasus spy tool against journalists and opposition politicians, so it wasnt really unexpected.
Hungary is not a true democracy since around 2014, Orbán changed voting rules in 2012, and he rules by decree since 2015, parliament is just theater. Elections will be in 2026, recent polls says a party has enough supporters finally, so it can change in 2 years. But there is some fear that he may change election rules again, so he can't be voted out.
