AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoHungary’s Anti-Corruption Crackdown: Hungary detained two Orbán-era ministers after MPs lifted their immunity—former culture minister Balázs Hankó over alleged misappropriation at the National Cultural Fund, and Miklós Seszták in a separate bribery probe; both deny wrongdoing, as PM Péter Magyar frames it as “regime change” with consequences. Parliament & Immunity: The same immunity vote cleared the way for investigations into PM Péter Magyar and other opposition figures, keeping political pressure high as prosecutors move forward. EU Ukraine Negotiations: The EU is set to try again to unblock Ukraine accession “clusters 2 and 3,” but Hungary’s veto remains the sticking point at a working party meeting. Budapest & Business: A new Interreg project, COOL-BORDER, will back cross-border chilled and frozen food SMEs with hubs and shared support on packaging, cold-chain logistics, paperwork, hygiene and waste reduction. Culture in Budapest: A free-to-enter Independent Art Fair opens in Klauzál Market Hall (10–11 Oct), with live performances and contemporary work from local galleries.
