Ókovács says he is still owed 80 million by the Opera House

RTL reported that Szilveszter Ókovács expects additional payments from the Opera House after being dismissed for receiving unauthorized bonuses. He had a gross salary of 4.3 million HUF and received 73 million HUF over five years. Ókovács claims he deserves 80 million HUF in royalties for directing operas. Meanwhile, Opera employees went on strike for better wages, which Ókovács compared to unrealistic campaign promises. The director initially supported their demands but later backtracked, leading to a partial agreement. Ókovács argues his earnings were comparable to an MEP's, emphasizing that the benefits were tied to his position, not personal merit.
