Hungary PM Orbán’s Mansion Scandal: Zebras, Corruption, and Dictatorial Excess
A scandal has emerged in Hungary following the release of photos depicting Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s unfinished mansion in Hatvanpuszta, sparking public controversy. Independent MP Ákos Hadházy shared photographs, revealing features such as a palm garden, private zoo, and heated paving, which stand in stark contrast to Orbán’s claims that the estate is merely his father’s farm. Despite government officials’ assertions that it is simply a farm, energy certificates suggest a residential building. This has led to public tours of the property and calls for investigations into Orbán’s assets, with opposition leaders vowing to scrutinize the estate if elected.
