Mátyás opened Orbán's former offices to the public — Bloomberg
Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar has opened his predecessor Viktor Orbán’s former offices to the public. According to the initiative’s concept, this move serves as a public symbol of the dismantling of the long-standing political system associated with Orbán’s 16-year rule.
This is reported in a Bloomberg article.
The central event of the campaign was the removal of the fence surrounding the luxurious Carmelite Monastery in Budapest, which had long served as Orbán’s residence and epitomized his power structure, closed off from the public.
“The ‘Tisza’ government cannot return to the Hungarian people the money that has already been spent on these buildings. But at least we would like to give people the opportunity to come and see these buildings,” Magyar said after the fence around the monastery was removed.
It is known that Viktor Orbán’s offices will be left intact as a historical exhibit. Citizens can already sign up for the first tour groups. The prime minister, who has chosen offices on the Pest side of the Danube, near the parliament, stated that he will take part in one of the first public tours.
Orbán himself refused to work in the closed monastery on Buda Hill. He chose new offices for himself on the Pest side of the Danube, located closer to the Hungarian Parliament building. The new prime minister also promised to personally attend one of the first public tours.
As a reminder, Hungaryhas announced that it will stop exerting pressure within the EU, according to Bloomberg.
Recall that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Hungary had returned to Ukraine the funds and assets of Oschadbank that had been seized by Hungarian special services in March of this year.
