Head of the Hungarian Institute of International Affairs dismissed with immediate effect
Published
Botond Feledy, head of the Hungarian Institute of International Affairs, has been dismissed with immediate effect. The dismissal came after it emerged that Botond Feledy had previously worked as an adviser to a minister in the government.
According to a report by the news portal Telex, the minister was responsible for construction under the Orbán government. The question arose over whether advisory work and the institute's leadership post were compatible, which ultimately led to the leader's departure.
The Hungarian Institute of International Affairs is an organisation dealing with foreign policy and international issues. The work of its head therefore plays an important role in the institute's research and public statements.
According to the available information, the dismissal took effect immediately. Further news about the details and decisions regarding the institute's succession is expected later.
