István Tényi, a Hungarian politician, has formally requested detailed information regarding an alleged agreement between Péter Magyar and Ursula von der Leyen, the President of the European Commission. Tényi's request stems from the government's failure to publicly release the complete text of this purported deal.
According to Tényi, only political statements from a press conference have been made available, leaving the specific commitments and timelines of the agreement undisclosed. He asserts that these details are crucial because the agreement directly concerns the utilization of Hungarian public funds and affects taxpayers. Therefore, he argues, the disclosure of specific "super milestones" and deadlines is a fundamental public interest.
The government's reluctance to publish the full agreement has fueled Tényi's demand for transparency, highlighting a potential lack of accountability concerning public finances and international commitments.
