Hungary’s PM Orbán To Relocate To Buda Castle
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán will relocate his office to Buda Castle, and other ministry headquarters may be relocated to cities outside Budapest, it was announced on Friday.

Orbán, who reportedly considered such a step while prime minister in 1998-2002, will move to the former Carmelite convent next to the Sándor Palace, the presidential office, by March 15, 2016.

New government spokeswoman Éva Kurucz, formerly of HírTV, told reporters after Friday’s inaugural cabinet meeting that the Defence Ministry may move to Székesfehérvár, and the Agriculture Ministry to Debrecen.
