'Hungary Bankrupted by Orbán Government' Announces Magyar

• 15 Apr 2026 12:50 PM

The Orbán government "has bankrupted Hungary", which has become "the poorest and most corrupt country in Europe by all accounts", the prime ministerial candidate of the Tisza Party, which won the parliamentary elections, told public news channel M1 on Wednesday.

Magyar said that Prime Minister Viktor Orban could not or did not want to bring home European Union funds of 8 trillion forints that all countries had received.

He said there were strict deadlines for the funds to be drawn down, and that the end of August would decide whether the country could draw down 4 trillion forints from the reconstruction fund.

Magyar said that they would do everything to access EU funds. He said the Orban government had four years to do the same, but "did nothing, only vetoed, fought and lied, instead of bringing home the EU funds".
