Orbán’s daughter buys 94 hectares of vineyards in Hungary

The Hungarian Prime Minister’s daughter, Ráhel Orbán, has bought 94 hectares of vineyards in Hungary, including real estate, in the famous wine region of Tokaj for HUF 600 million (EUR 1,584,931).

Vineyards in Hungary all go to the wealthy

Ráhel Orbán, the daughter of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, has acquired ownership of 94 hectares of land in the Tokaj wine region through two sales contracts, for which she paid a total of HUF 600 million.

The prime minister’s eldest daughter was registered as a farmer in Fejér County in 2021, which gave her the right to purchase the land. However, as she lives in Budapest, the locals could have made better use of it.

The sales contracts set a tight deadline, and Ráhel Orbán transferred the money within three days of the purchase, making it impossible for anyone to step in.

“I remember when the Lőrinc Mészáros team came here back in 2017 and bought the Andrássy Mansion in Tarcal. Everybody was on guard, not knowing what was going to happen to the land. When they were going to buy it? When the bag man was going to come? That’s what the farmers were afraid of, that’s what kept us up at night.. What would happen if Lőrinc Mészáros started farming here? What if they started buying up the land from the farmers? This is our biggest fear in the case of Ráhel Orbán, that she will set foot in the country and the expansion will continue, prompting an avalanche with no force to stop the wealthy and well-connected”, exclaimed László Bíró, a landowner and former right-wing politician.

Prices for plough land are low anyway because costs have risen and, in many places, local farmers are already making a loss.

Massive investment and monopoly

According to Bíró, “the Hungarian government and the Orbán family want to control everything from tourism to the wine industry and the processing plant”.

Ráhel Orbán told 24.hu that the land will continue to produce high-quality grapes in the future.

For the time being, no one has mentioned whether any of the local farmers would have wanted to exercise their right of first refusal, pointed out rtl.hu.

Interestingly, the land is located next to the Patrícius wine farm, which is owned by István Tiborcz (husband of Ráhel Orbán, son-in-law of Viktor Orbán).

Orban’s son-in-law got millions of Euros in EU development money but any investigation was of course made to go away. Now you can see where EU money is going

Whilst MILLIONS growing in number of Hungarians, are FIGHTING to SURVIVE through the daily “rigors” of LIFE, the daughter of the individual, the current Prime Minister of Hungary – Victor Orban “splashes” out funds referred in this article.
REMEMBER and grow and act fellow Hungarians – we are in this PLACE of decline ugliness for our FUTURE in Hungary – through this individual named Victor Orban.
Hungarians- who have NOT realized, that underneath the Orban plans for Hungary – over 14 years of his POWER – that he has been building a Dynasty.
The Orban name Dynasty is inter-faced of course through and with the WEALTH of his Son-in-Laws Family, which works FAVOURABLE – with Victor Orban.
In millions, we Hungarians are placed in positions of personal, business and family DESTRUCTION, through the political ideas and philosophy of the “ill fated” current Prime Minister of Hungary – Victor Orban.
18th century France, the words spoken by “a great princess” – Maria Antionette – “Let them eat Cake” – when informed the lowly, the peasants had NO bread.
History never LIES and we FACTUALLY are witnessing throughout Hungary – desperation of fellow Hungarians – human beings fighting for there there Families there Businesses – to SURVIVE.
It WORSENS daily.
The BLAME – and Victor Orban can not escape this FACT – rests on him, this PLACE – what we are enduring to SURVIVE as a country – HUNGARY.

Hungarian Royalty! Where are our Biden Hunter trolls, today? Not justifying his behaviour, or that of the Trump Kushner family.

Should all rightly be held to an elevated standard, given the last name or pedigree, as you like.

As long as the majority of Hungarians don’t understand and accept the fact that Orbán and his friends are criminals and traitors, nothing will change.

These people must put out of power, and then a criminal investigation must be started into all businesses of the Orbán family and everyone who is connected to them.

The country is run on foreign money-
The biggest business here are all foreign except for porn and oil and your bitching because Orban daughter has money. Your cat probably has better diet than many children in the world. Why don’t you do a story how farmers in the Netherlands are being threatened to have there farms taken away and the EU has no problem.

Interesting how there are apparently laws to safeguard the farmers … However, as a Budapest resident, you can obviously circumvent this whole charade by “registering as a farmer”, locally. Adhering to the highest moral and ethical standards.
