László Windisch appealed for the dismissal of the president of the Integrity Authority, stating that he is not late with his proposal.
László Windisch, president of the State Audit Office, has appealed against the dismissal of Ferenc Pál Bíró, head of the Integrity Authority, claiming his appeal is timely. The State Audit Office filed the appeal after the Budapest Court dismissed the case due to alleged lateness. The appeal follows accusations against Bíró by the Central Investigative Prosecutor's Office, including abuse of office and forgery. Windisch argues that such serious allegations should disqualify Bíró from his position. However, the court ruled that Windisch's appeal was submitted too late, as he should have acted over a year earlier. Bíró has called the proceedings against him politically motivated and expresses confidence in his eventual exoneration.
