Incredible fine imposed for calling PM Orbán and his cabinet traitors
Speaker of Parliament László Kövér has fined Democratic Coalition head Ferenc Gyurcsány over 14 million forints (EUR 34,900), the party said on Saturday.
Last week, Gyurcsány told parliament that “Hungary today has a traitor government and prime minister”. After Kövér reprimanded him, Gyurcsány said “the House Speaker is behaving like the worst [Communist] party secretary”, and the Speaker withdrew his right to speak further, the party said.

Gyurcsány also said that Kövér had been abusing his power by restricting lawmakers’ freedom of speech.
Gyurcsány said he had expressed his opinion “very calmly”. “According to Kövér, that costs 14 million.”
DK is planning to go “as far as Strasbourg”, Gyurcsány added.
