Viktor Orban will receive a three-month severance pay for a parliamentarian and a six-month severance pay for the head of government. Despite losing his position, he will be able to use state privileges, such as a company car with a driver for 16 years and an office with a two-person secretariat for eight years.
Viktor Orban, however, must be careful. According to the regulations, a former prime minister may lose his severance pay if he takes up a managerial position in a state-controlled company within six months.

The procedure was supposed to start in March, before the parliamentary elections.
