Fidesz also distributed diplomatic passports to its own "opposition": the finance minister of the Gyurcsány government and Gábor Fodor also received one

Several prominent figures, including political opponents of the Orbán government, have obtained diplomatic passports during the NER era. Notable recipients include Fodor Gábor, Veres János, and Szilágyi György, who received their passports through individual requests rather than their previous official roles. Fodor's passport was revoked in June 2023, while Szilágyi's was also canceled shortly after issuance. Veres claimed diplomatic status due to his honorary consul role, but this does not confer a diplomatic passport. The review of passports issued during the Fidesz government revealed many were granted without diplomatic justification, prompting scrutiny from officials like Velkey György László.
