The Pesti Vigadó generated a loss of over one hundred million, the MMA fired the director

The Pesti Vigadó Nonprofit Kft., part of the Hungarian Academy of Arts, ended the last year with a significant deficit of 118 million HUF. Although Nagy Zsombor is still listed as the managing director, he has been dismissed due to poor financial performance. The Academy confirmed that the decision was made during a meeting on October 19, as the company's management did not align with the approved business plan. There are no allegations of criminal activity, and the company's solvency remains stable. Some members of the Széchenyi Academy wish to dismantle the privileged structure of the Academy, seeking to remove state tasks from the politically organized body. The ongoing scandal poses challenges for the Academy, which is already under scrutiny due to its substantial state funding.
