Jobbik: We have written proof that Viktor Orbán lied

Press release – “Who paid for or how did you cover your trip to Russia?” This was the question MP Tamás Pintér posed in writing to Viktor Orbán in Parliament back in July, concerning his visit to the FIFA World Cup in Russia. State Secretary Csaba Dömötör’s answer already seemed quite unbelievable back then as he claimed that the entire trip, including the lease of a private jet, accommodation costs, and match tickets, was paid by the PM himself. The reason why the response was so astounding was that Viktor Orbán’s own self-reported declaration of property listed no more than HUF 993 thousand in savings, which cannot possibly cover such a luxury trip.

Viktor Orbán has recently used this private jet again: according to an article published by atlatszo.hu, he arrived in Budapest in it from Bulgaria after MOL Vidi FC’s match there. So it was time to ask the question again: how did the PM pay for this trip? Bertalan Havasi may likely have forgotten to coordinate his answer with Csaba Dömötör because he flat-out declared that the trip was covered by MOL Vidi FC’s owner and Viktor Orbán’s oligarch István Garancsi.

It seems clear that Viktor Orbán, having no other financial resources, either spends the taxpayers’ money uncontrollably on these outings or his oligarchs arrange for his travels, so courting the Prime Minister for winnable public procurement tenders.
