Hungary's PM’s Ft 4.5mn Consultancy Probed
Former Fidelitas deputy mayor of Orosháza Ibolya Hutás-Csizmadia is receiving Ft 4.5 million for giving foreign policy advice to Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, according to a report on website hvg.hu. She also receives from the town a monthly salary of Ft 174,000 for four hours work a week, despite having resigned as deputy mayor last month.

The opposition in Orosháza finds it strange as the young woman was an expert on waste management before becoming deputy mayor.
