"I am a victim of a political conceptual procedure" – Bálint Bús has sent another message from the Star Prison

Bús Balázs, former mayor of Óbuda, has been detained since June over allegations related to National Cultural Fund grants. In an open letter, he claims he is a victim of a political conspiracy and denies any risk of reoffending or fleeing. He asserts that he has cooperated with authorities but is pressured for false testimony. Bús reflects on his family's history during the 1956 revolution and criticizes the current political climate. He faces charges of embezzlement and is accused of accepting a bribe of 150 million HUF. His detention has been extended until Christmas, ensuring he remains in custody.
