Péter Magyar has declined the official residence as Hungary's prime minister
Hungary’s newly elected Prime Minister Péter Magyar has stated that he will not move into the official state residence. He plans to continue living with his family in a private home. The politician also announced that he will use standard official transportation for his travels, without any special privileges.
He wrote about this on his Facebook page.
Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar has decided on his official vehicle and refused to purchase new, expensive cars for the government fleet. He will use a Skoda Superb as his official car.
“As the prime minister’s official car, I use a blue Skoda Superb, which is already well-known from my travels around the country,” Péter Magyar wrote.
The Skoda Superb is the flagship Czech business-class car, produced since 2001 and valued for its spacious interior, practicality, and comfort. The new generation (2024–2026) costs between $39,000 and $40,000 in Ukraine.
Mátyás also announced that he would not be moving into the official residence. “I am announcing that I will not be moving into the official residence. I live in a house in Buda, where my children are at home,” Mátyás added.
Even before his election victory, Mályi announced the relocation of the prime minister’s office from the Carmelite Palace in Budapest, where former Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s cabinet was previously based. One of the main reasons cited for the relocation is well-founded suspicion that hidden listening devices are present in the palace building.

As a reminder, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Hungary has returned to Ukraine the funds and assets of Oschadbank that were seized by Hungarian special services in March of this year.
Earlier, Hungary’s future Prime Minister Péter Magyar stated that the issue of returning the frozen Ukrainian funds of Oschadbank would only be subject to negotiations after the new government is officially formed.
