“There are serious suspicions that some of these funds did not reach the people, but fed pro-Viktor Orbán political influence and propaganda networks. We're not just talking about money. We are talking about political influence built with public money, including on the territory of Romania”he transmitted.
Concretely, he asked the new prime minister to investigate how the public money sent to Romania was spent, to identify the real beneficiaries and possible networks created by the former regime, as well as to collaborate with the Romanian and European authorities.
He emphasizes that these financial flows must be thoroughly investigated and those responsible held accountable.
“Cleaning up this system is not just a Hungarian problem. It's a European problem“, states the honorary advisor of the prime minister.
In September, it was announced that a Romanian construction company was bought by the Hungarian group Duna Aszfalt, controlled by businessman László Szijj, a close associate of Viktor Orban.
Duna Aszfalt is part of the Duna Group, which is rapidly expanding its presence in the region, including through acquisitions in Poland and other markets, targeting European-funded infrastructure projects.
According to media reports, companies close to Viktor Orbán's government are seeking foreign investment amid the blocking of EU funds, and the entrepreneur is known for his ties to the former prime minister.
