PM Orbán urges people to stay home, but his best friend goes to Dubai

In a radio interview, the prime minister of Hungary, Viktor Orbán, asked all citizens to stay at home. Most people accept this order, but some oligarchs close to Orbán continue to travel.

Tímea Szabó, the fraction leader of the Párbeszéd Party, submitted a question to Viktor Orbán. She wondered if Orbán had spoken to oligarchs connected to Fidesz about giving up their luxury trips. The question is quite timely because Orbán was asking people to cancel their trips in an interview on a state radio station, writes 24.hu.

“The problem now is that the mutant viruses are reaching Hungary because of travellers coming home from extraordinary destinations, such as Tanganyika, the Maldives, or Dubai. Therefore, now I am asking everyone to postpone such luxury vacations at these high-risk places. Not because we envy them for such a thing, for if they have the money, they can do so, but it is a matter of bringing home viruses with unknown mutants and putting others at risk here – not themselves but others. This has already happened in several cases, so I strongly urge everyone to postpone such travel plans,” says the Hungarian Prime Minister.

In contrast, people close to the NER (Hungarian System of National Cooperation) are frequent visitors to Dubai.

In addition, the opposition politician inquired whether the millionaires who travel would comply with the epidemiological measures upon their return home. Tímea Szabó pointed out that this exceptional treatment is unacceptable. The leader of the Párbeszéd fraction named the private jet that goes to exotic destinations quite often “NER-Tours”. Lőrinc Mészáros and his family are frequent guests on this plane.
