Former minister Balázs Hankó has publicly expressed solidarity with colleagues arrested in connection with a scandal involving the National Cultural Fund (NKA). Hankó stated that he and his team consistently acted in good faith throughout their work. The NKA is currently under investigation, with several individuals detained as part of the inquiry. Details of the alleged wrongdoing remain limited, but the case has drawn significant public attention. Hankó’s statement suggests a defense of his colleagues and a rejection of any implication of intentional misconduct. The investigation is ongoing, and further developments are expected to emerge as authorities continue their work. This incident raises questions about transparency and accountability within Hungary’s cultural funding institutions.
