JÓZSEF MERUK IS ADVISER OF THE AGRARIAN MINISTRY

József Meruk has popped up in the Ministry of Agriculture and Regional Development. Mr Meruk is a journalist who last summer - after Magyar Nemzet sparked off the scandal of agent D-209 - in Budapest Television leaked out that the father of a politician of Fidesz had worked for the State Security Office under the name János Pákozdi. In consequence of this Zoltán Pokorni, Chairman of Fidesz resigned. Mr Meruk was silent for a long time but in January he was appointed adviser of the Ministry of Agriculture and Regional Development (FVM).
