A public interest data request filed by the online news outlet 444 regarding a decree issued during the Orbán government has been met with silence from Hungary’s Justice Ministry. The request concerned an investigation, dubbed the “Vine Street Affair,” led by Bence Tuzson and his team. The Justice Ministry has refused to disclose which documents were reviewed during the investigation or its findings. This lack of transparency has raised concerns about government accountability and access to information. 444 initiated the data request previously, anticipating potential issues regarding the process. The Ministry’s response—or lack thereof—further fuels questions around the nature and outcome of the inquiry. This withholding of information hinders public understanding of the investigation and its implications.
