Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán’s and government elite’s luxury travels unveiled
Change language:
Átlátszó.hu’s team successfully revealed the government elite’s summer vacations. many used a luxury yacht and also an aeroplane, including Viktor Orbán PM. The private yacht and the luxury plane crossed path several times this summer.
Átlátszó, a non-governmental organisation in Hungary has been tracking the paths of two luxury vehicles this summer, and both were used by high-level politicians and members of the government’s and the party’s elite. The NGO followed the routes of the luxury private yacht, and an officially Austrian private plane, which the PM has been seen using many times.
The yacht and the plane, somewhat unsurprisingly, crossed paths frequently this summer, including programs such as football matches and luxury vacations in Croatia.
The luxury yacht that the Fidesz-elite was photographed on is called Lady Mrd and has been up for sale for EUR 20,9 million last year. It is registered as a private vehicle in Malta, which cannot be used by others but the owners. Although the yacht is registered under a Maltese company name, it is at least ambiguous that the company manages around 200 offshore companies.
The owners of the yacht are the same as of another one, which has also been used by Lőrinc Mészáros, as photographed by Magyar Narancs in 2016.
Take a look at a video of the boat here to get familiar with how it feels like to be Viktor Orbán’s friend:
The private jet’s owner, on the other hand, remains unknown. There are some other things regarding the jet: it is worth an enormous amount, EUR 53 million, and is registered in Vienna, Austria. The extremely expensive jet is, however, almost always parked at the Budapest Airport.
It is even more peculiar that the private jet had the same destinations where Lady Mrd was situated.
Most country leaders fly private jets and holiday on yacht. The important fact is that it is not paid for by the taxpayers of the country. Everyone deserves a holiday.
