Orbán's office explained why the 46 billion forint swimming headquarters sank with the secret resolution.

The spokesperson for former Prime Minister Viktor Orbán announced that the government allocated 46 billion HUF for a new World Aquatics headquarters in Budapest. This decision, although not public, aims to support the construction led by Russian-Hungarian entrepreneur Ruszlan Rahimkulov. The project is expected to be financed by the state asset manager MNV Zrt., with payments starting in 2026. Despite the groundbreaking ceremony held in November 2025, no purchase agreement has been signed yet. The spokesperson expressed hope that the new government will continue this development, which is seen as beneficial for Budapest and Hungary as a whole.
