MDF LEAVES THE ORBÁN COMMITTEE

The Hungarian Democratic Forum (MDF) leaves the parliamentary committee examining the background of the acquisition of property of former Prime Minister Viktor Orbán because the Hungarian Socialist Party would not recall László Molnár, chairman of the committee. László Molnár was condemned by the court at least ten times for economic offenses so the opposition finds it unethical to keep his chairmanship in a mainly ethical examination process. Members of Fidesz and independents had left the committee earlier so the committee has become inquorate.
