The fired Ókovács is suing, claiming that no one could Facebook like he did at the Opera House.

Szilveszter Ókovács, dismissed as director of the Hungarian State Opera, plans to take legal action against the Ministry of Culture. He claims he was not given a chance to respond to accusations regarding his salary and additional payments for social media posts. Ókovács argues that his pay was misrepresented and that he was unfairly treated during the audit process. He also criticized the appointment of Ivacs Balázs as interim leader, citing past issues with him. Additionally, he shared details about his personal relationship with current political figures, including Prime Minister Magyar Péter.
