The minister promoted a factory construction. Then his friend benefited from it

Péter Szijjártó announced a significant investment in a battery factory by CATL in Debrecen, which he claims will bolster Hungary's economy. The project, heavily subsidized by the government, has raised concerns about connections between Szijjártó and Szilárd Benkő, whose company Verbau Kft. secured substantial contracts related to the factory. Despite the project's scale, Verbau has reportedly kept details confidential, and its financial performance has dramatically improved since Benkő took ownership.
