Hungary continues to see controversy surrounding the Nemzeti Vagyonvisszaszerzési és Vagyonvédelmi Hivatal, an office for asset recovery and protection, whose new chairwoman has become Unger Anna. She is to take office on Tuesday after being elected on Friday, with her appointment generating significant political debate in recent days. Telex ↗
Unger Anna stated in an interview before taking office that she did not seek popularity and rejected the notion that Péter Magyar or anyone else should contact her. According to her statement, the new office could have approximately 150 employees, of whom about half are to focus on investigation cases. The debate also raised questions about the scope of authority and the very purpose of establishing the institution. Index.hu ↗
Criticism is focused not only on the chairwoman's person, but also on the process of her selection and the establishment of the office itself. Hadházy Ákos announced that he would continue to comment on the method of nomination. Fodor Gábor, in turn, described Unger Anna as secondary and considers the establishment of NVVH as the main problem. The public debate was also joined by Unger Anna's husband, who defended her against critics.
Further developments will depend on how the office begins to function after the new chairwoman takes office and whether the government is able to defend its role against opposition objections and parts of the public debate.
