The opposition Democratic Coalition (DK) will initiate dismissing the head of the State Audit Office (ÁSZ) whose authority the party says has “paralysed” opposition parties by levying fines on them, DK’s deputy group leader said on Sunday.

Led by László Domokos, a former lawmaker of ruling Fidesz, ÁSZ has fined all of the opposition parties over the past years, Gergely Arató told a press conference, saying that by levying the fines, the authority was “executing a political order”.

ÁSZ has never levied any fine on ruling Fidesz, he said, insisting that contrary to its statute, ÁSZ had not acted as an independent authority.

Arató said ÁSZ had abused the law that says its decisions cannot be appealed in court.

DK will propose to the other opposition parties to initiate in parliament’s Immunity Committee the removal of Domokos from his post.

Reaction

Hungary’s State Audit Office responded by firmly rejecting Arató’s statement, calling it an “unfounded accusation” and “an attack on the rule of law”, in a statement.

ÁSZ said it conducts its audits in line with rigorous international auditing standards transparently and independently from the government or any political party, in accordance with the rule of law.

“ÁSZ does not participate in party politics,” the office said.


STRONGEST OPPOSITION PARTY JOBBIK TO BE ELIMINATED BY THE STATE AUDIT OFFICE?

Tamás Sneider, the chairman of Jobbik, called together an extraordinary party congress because the State Audit Office fined the party for 270 M HUF (EUR 844 thousand). According to Sneider, they are going to discuss two topics: the termination of their parliamentary group which would raise further financial questions and the continuation of the national resistance announced by the party last year, read more HERE.
