Members of the government won’t tell if they boarded the infamous luxury yacht or private jet

Like in recent years, the luxury vehicles owned by the Orban government’s favourite businessmen have crossed each other’s routes several times this summer.  The 17 milliard forints worth private jet (OE-LEM, registered in Austria) flew several times  from Budapest to the Adriatic coast, often at the same time as when the LADY MRD, a Benetti Crystal yacht registered in Malta, was docked there. When a Member of Parliament asked ministers about their use of these vehicles,  she was told that there is no record kept containing the private programmes and holidays of government members and officials.

Fidesz-linked strongmen fight for presidency of the forensic experts’ chamber

Two nominees, both appearing suddenly and both of whom can boast a background linked to governing party Fidesz are aspiring for the presidency of the Hungarian Chamber of Forensic Experts (MISZK). Judit Szekér former commissioner of the minister for justice leads the race with Zoltán Schváb, a former secretary at the ministry of development. Gyula Trenka, the current head of the economic division of the chamber opposes them. The vote doesn’t make many waves in the chamber which has now descended into apathy and is indeed in dire need for reform.
