The mayor initiates the dismissal of the director of the Pécs National Theatre

Péterffy Attila, the mayor of Pécs, has expressed concerns about the director of the Pécs National Theatre, Zsolt Lipics, citing issues with his leadership style and the negative atmosphere in the theatre. Despite internal investigations revealing no legal violations, the mayor emphasized the need for a cohesive and motivated artistic team. He noted that any changes in leadership would require government cooperation due to existing laws favoring Fidesz appointees. The mayor's previous discussions with Lipics highlighted ongoing problems, including the marginalization of colleagues. The final decision regarding Lipics' position rests with the city council.
