Telex: Hankó Balázs accelerated the distribution of individual innovation grants before the elections

Hankó Balázs faces scrutiny over potential misuse of funds from the National Cultural Fund and innovation grants. Analysis shows a spike in funding decisions before elections, with significant amounts allocated to projects linked to his constituency. The NKFI Fund's unique grants have been concentrated in election years, raising concerns about the timing and justification of these allocations. Investigations are underway regarding some grants, including a notable one to KinaviX Kft., which has ties to the Semmelweis University. The new Minister of Science and Technology, Zoltán Tanács, has initiated a review of these grants, although he found no systemic issues similar to those in cultural funding.
