Orbán holds talks with Hungarian-born businessman Peterffy
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán held talks with Thomas Peterffy, Hungarian-born chairman and CEO of multinational Interactive Brokers Group, in Budapest on Tuesday.
Peterffy emigrated to the United States in 1965 and established Timber Hill which then expanded to become Interactive Brokers. His company was the first to introduce electronic trading in the early 80s.
In 2017, Orbán decorated Peterffy with the Grand Cross of the Order of Merit of Hungary in recognition of his achievements in strengthening Hungary’s reputation
and for his active support provided to a museum commemorating the victims of communism to be built in Washington, DC.
At their talks, Orbán and Peterffy discussed the effects of the coronavirus pandemic and agreed that every possible effort had to be taken to restart the economy and protect jobs as well as create ones as soon as possible.
They also discussed the issue of migration and agreed that a massive inflow of illegal migrants would pose a threat to nation states and their cultural identity.

Corruption is an international business.
May 2022 National Elections – the OPPORTUNITY – for the people of Hungary to destine the FUTURE of their country.
Social Inequality should be deeply examined by those who take their right to right under Democracy seriously.
Has the social gap of living in Hungary over the past (10) years of this present Government – narrowed or widened ?
Have the rich got richer and the poor got poorer ?
This is just one of the major questions citizens should be examining prior to May 2022.
What direction under what Political Party do YOU wish Hungary to be governed and led ?
The National Elections of May 2022 – not since post 1945 – post the Fall of the Iron Curtain 1989 – the RESPONSIBILITY – that rests on the citizens of Hungary – to determine through their voting right and DEMOCRACY – the Future of Hungary.
What type of Hungary do we wish to live our lives under what Political Party or System of Government ?
Norbert – many of us have the same questions. But the 4 or 5 that regularly post here (I am sure you know who I mean) cannot even be civil in their comments, let alone have a normal discussion with them.
This man puts Soros to shame. Success did not go to Peterffy’s head. He can be called a successful busimess man of Hungarian descent.
