MNB's investigative committee: Matolcsy did not attend, Varga arrived without a lawyer

The MNB investigation committee planned hearings for former central bank governor György Matolcsy and current leader Mihály Varga. Matolcsy did not attend due to his arrest and invoked his right to silence. Varga appeared and discussed the legal nature of MNB foundations, asserting their original purpose was valid but implementation issues arose. He noted that after taking office, he initiated several reports regarding MNB properties and sought amendments to prevent the bank from having foundations. Varga claimed that measures taken have saved 100 billion HUF and avoided further liabilities. Committee members questioned Varga about the foundation laws and property losses.
