Telex: Botond Feledy's company received 84 million forints from János Lázár's ministry over three years
The Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs dismissed Botond Feledy from his position as director of the Hungarian Institute of Foreign Affairs due to a conflict of interest. Feledy's company had contracts with the ministry led by János Lázár, which the government was unaware of when he was appointed. The situation came to light after Telex reported on the contracts, revealing that Feledy's company received over 84 million HUF for various analyses and consultations related to transportation and construction. Despite not having foreign policy responsibilities, Lázár's ministry relied on Feledy's expertise for decisions impacting its operations. Feledy's dismissal highlights issues of transparency and trust within the government.
