EU addresses lobbying after Szijjártó's departure to BYD
According to Hungarian media, Szijjártó is to remain in Hungary, but at BYD he will not be trading on the Hungarian market. He is expected to work in an international position, primarily between Europe and the Middle East. According to former spokesperson Bertalan Havasi, Orbán discussed the decision with him in advance and supported it. HVG ↗
New developments have also come from the European Union's report on the rule of law in Hungary. When presenting it, the European Commission did not comment on the individual cases of Szijjártó or President Tamás Sulyok, but noted that it has recommendations regarding lobbying and the so-called revolving-door phenomenon between public office and the private sector.

Szijjártó's departure has also raised the question of who will take his seat in parliament. Hungarian media write that Viktor Orbán could theoretically return to parliament by taking the vacated spot on the Fidesz candidate list. There is also speculation as to whether a change in the faction's leadership could help the party. dennikn.sk ↗
The opposition is using the case as evidence of Fidesz weakening. Magyar Péter claims that Szijjártó's ties to Russia are being investigated, though he did not disclose details. Former Foreign Minister Géza Jeszenszky also spoke critically, saying that Szijjártó no longer has a way back into politics. respekt.cz ↗
