Not only the ministry but also the government's ship took a big hit with the departure of András Tótth, the energy state secretary.

The newly formed Tisza government, with István Kapitány as a key minister, aimed to shift Hungary away from kleptocratic practices. The energy sector faced significant challenges, including frozen EU funds and budgetary burdens. András Tótth, appointed as state secretary, was recognized for his expertise and previously advised against the MVM's acquisition of the Mátrai Power Plant. Despite initial confidence in Kapitány's leadership, Tótth's resignation raised concerns about government dysfunction and the stability of Hungary's energy system, which remained unresolved after five months.
