Success: Szuvák Attila has been appointed brigadier general at the proposal of Romulus Ruszin-Szendi

On Wednesday evening, the Hungarian Gazette reported that Defense Minister Romulusz Ruszin-Szendi appointed Attila Szuvák, the former deputy director of the Military National Security Service, as a brigadier general. This appointment was met with surprise and confusion, as Szuvák allegedly lacked the necessary professional qualifications and leadership experience. Despite initial legal obstacles preventing confirmation of his promotion, the National Security Committee of the National Assembly supported Szuvák's appointment without dissent in September. Ruszin-Szendi also congratulated Krisztián Kovács, the deputy director of the service, who received the rank of general as well.
