Opposition wins lawsuit over luxury EUR 575,000 Paris hotel bill for Hungarian delegation

The opposition Democratic Coalition (DK) has won a lawsuit against the ministry of foreign affairs which had paid some HUF 230 million (EUR 575,000) for suites in a Paris luxury hotel for President Tamás Sulyok and his delegation during the summer Olympics last year, the party’s group leader and director said on Saturday.

László Sebián-Petrovszki told a press conference on Facebook that, in line with the court ruling, the ministry must make available the invoices and names on the guest lists from the luxury trip, except for the names of members of the counter-terrorism unit.

“As soon as we receive the invoices, proof of payment and guest list, we will show those to the whole country, revealing who stayed in the Paris luxury hotel from public monies,” he added.

He said that after former President Katalin Novák had been replaced by Sulyok, the reservation was kept in the Paris luxury hotel where Sulyok ended up staying for only three days of the two-week period. “We are curious to see who spent the remaining week and a half in the Paris hotel paid from public monies,” he added.
