Big fish hooked in Hungary, as Orbán’s ex-bank chief placed in custody (Day 163 of the Tisza government)

Following Hungary's recent elections, significant developments include the arrest of György Matolcsy, a key figure in Orbán's economic policies. Matolcsy, who served as central bank governor, is implicated in a scandal involving the misappropriation of public assets into private foundations. His tenure saw controversial economic decisions, including the nationalization of pension funds. The current investigation focuses on actions taken towards the end of his term, aiming to secure control over substantial central bank assets for his family. Additionally, Tisza's government is gaining public support, with over four million backing him, and Ursula von der Leyen is set to speak on the revolution's anniversary.
