Varga Mihály's political responsibility was also questioned

Csőszi Attila recalled that Kósa Lajos and Bánki Erik stated no investigations were initiated by the ruling parties regarding the ÁSZ report, despite ongoing criticism from the opposition since 2016 about MNB foundations. He inquired whether there had been any initiative for a committee to investigate. Wiegand István mentioned the luxury restaurant Félix as an example of foundation property purchases and questioned whether the former minister had informed Prime Minister Orbán about potential crimes between 2019 and 2024. Varga Mihály asserted that no ruling party representative had sought an investigation into the MNB foundations and noted that there were no reports of irregularities from various audits between 2013 and 2014. He emphasized that monitoring the MNB falls under the Parliament's jurisdiction, not the government's. Varga stated that he filed a report in April 2025 based on available evidence, leading to the detention of certain individuals involved.
