Could his fate overtake Matolcsy, or does he know too much about NER assets for that?

“The dissonance between the contents of the Document Package and the information known to the MNB so far can be established,” György Matolcsy, then the President of the Hungarian National Bank, replied in mid-December last year to the letter that the President of the State Audit Office (SAO), László Windisch, had sent him about nine months earlier, in March 2024. Dissonance, fuck it. Unless it is.

The former head of the huge Polish oil company PKN-Orlen also served on the supervisory board of the central bank's real estate company founded by György Matolcsy - but he quickly switched sides and surprisingly left after barely a year. Daniel Obajtek, who fled political persecution at home all the way to Georgia Meloni in the European Parliament, is connected to Hungary in several ways.

Hungary could become a laughing stock in the financial markets of the Western Hemisphere if the central bank – under the pretext of a change of president – does not settle the fate of the hundreds of billions of euros of the Pallas Athene Foundation. The question now is whether the criminal proceedings initiated on suspicion of embezzlement of public funds will reach the Matolcsy family.

If Viktor Orbán had known about this, he would not have waited until the end of György Matolcsy's mandate, believes Gábor Bányai.
