Financial Times: Matolcsy has been sidelined, Orbán could be next

The new Hungarian government continues its campaign against the corruption of the previous elite, recently detaining György Matolcsy, former head of the National Bank. Matolcsy, a close associate of Viktor Orbán, has been involved in several scandals related to mismanagement of public funds. He represents a significant figure among those imprisoned due to recent investigations into abuses that occurred under an increasingly authoritarian regime. Mihály Varga, the current central bank governor and former minister, is assisting the investigations, providing thousands of documents to authorities, while maintaining the independence of the central bank.
