Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has ordered urgent reports from Development Minister Zsuzsanna Németh and Justice Minister Tibor Navracsics ahead of today’s cabinet meeting after the tabloid Blikk revealed the large bonuses paid to leading figures at state-owned companies and in public administration.
Blikk reported in its Monday edition that CEOs László Baranyay of state development bank MFB, Ilona Dávid of state railway company MÁV and Gergely Horváth of state asset manager MNV would each be paid Ft 19.2 million in bonuses for results achieved in 2012. Large sums were also to be paid to other senior executive at MÁV and the MNV.
Fidesz communications director Máté Kocsis said he would consider it appropriate if they did not collect their bonuses. If they have, he continued, they should donate the money to charity.
