Nagy runs up extravagant hotel bills



Economy Minister Márton Nagy spent an average of Ft 831,000 per night for accommodation while on an official visit to Brussels in November last year, and Ft 721,000 in August of this year, the ministry informed website 24.hu.

Late last October Nagy travelled to Austria for a strategic partnership consultation, where he stayed in a room rented for Ft 796,000 per night.

Nagy paid two further visits to Brussels, paying Ft 435,000 and Ft 511,000 for one night’s accommodation.

In 66 official visits abroad between January 2023 and November 2024, the hotel and transport costs for himself and the delegations escorting him exceeded Ft 132 million in two years, and Nagy spent more than Ft 60 million on private planes alone.
