To DK-s László Sebián-Petrovszki a question asked as part of immediate questions Zsuzsa Hegedűs recently disclosed its costs. Based on invoices claimed by DK Viktor Orban On one occasion, his senior advisor paid HUF 35,000,990 for a single bottle of wine “from taxpayers’ money”, that is, from his own budget. He also bought French “luxury champagne” four times, for 14,000 990 guilders a bottle.

Sebian-Petrovsky told Parliament on Monday afternoon: “The Prime Minister’s Counselor took these public funds and used them for his own well-being.”

Who is the starving child whose stomach is relieved by 15,000 florins of luxury champagne?

-I ask.

How long will Zsuzsa Hegedűs, who spoils the boy’s money, remain Viktor Orbán’s main adviser?

Finally he asked.

In place of the prime minister, Katalin Novák, a minister without a portfolio, responded, beginning with:

Let’s talk about the point, and the point is how we fight poverty in Hungary and catch up with the gypsies. This was already our ten-year goal in 2010. (…) To have fewer and fewer poor families and children in Hungary.

He explained: aid-oriented policy abolished, people try to give people job opportunities, so the honor of work has returned. Children in need are helped with free meals and the amounts spent on children’s meals have been increased. “We said we don’t have to help people, we have to work.” Katalin Novák also spoke about free meals.

Sebian-Petrovsky then said:

He did not respond to my only suggestion, (…). did not touch the topic that I raised

To this Novák said:

I have no duty to defend Zsuzsa Hegedűs. (…) We can make up a story like this, you can too.

The Prime Minister’s Office previously said that “the alcoholic beverages in the banknotes are corporate gifts.” Furthermore, it was written: The violinist could use his representation frame for consumer goods related to the reception of his guests, as well as for business gifts, that is, he did not use the frame for private purposes.
