Kozármisleny revoked György Matolcsy's honorary citizenship title

The Kozármisleny local council decided to revoke the honorary citizenship of former central bank governor György Matolcsy during a closed meeting on October 27. This decision follows recent legal troubles for Matolcsy, who was detained in connection with a financial investigation. The council's unanimous vote was led by independent mayor Marietta Pohl, and the matter was discussed by the Financial and Urban Development Committee. The revocation comes after authorities issued arrest warrants for several individuals linked to Matolcsy, raising concerns about potential evidence tampering and flight risks. The Budapest Court rejected Matolcsy's appeal against his detention, citing risks of witness tampering and evidence destruction.
