Bajnai to head investment fund

Budapest, September 2 (MTI) – Former prime minister and a leading politician of the E-PM opposition alliance, Gordon Bajnai, will take a job as the chief executive of an investment fund, the online news website hvg.hu reported today.

Bajnai said he would be reponsible for the operative management of the French-owned Meridiam group’s fund manager, specialising in infrastructure investments. He said he had been working on the company’s supervisory board for the past two years.

Bajnai will not give up his roles in the Haza es Haladas (Patriotism and Progress) foundation, which he founded, nor will he give up his positions in the Egyutt party, hvg.hu said.

Co-chairman of E-PM Viktor Szigetvari announced early in June that Bajnai would step back from the foreground of politics and will not take part in Egyutt’s day-to-day operations.
