Gordon Bajnai discusses Hungarian governance and rule of law

At the Forbes Money Summit, former Prime Minister Gordon Bajnai addressed the current state of governance in Hungary. He suggested that in a country functioning under the rule of law and a market economy, corruption tends to decrease when a government operates from a centrist position. He noted that such transitions require time to manage inherited systemic issues.

The discussion also touched upon the Hungarian education system and the challenges of restructuring it. The discourse highlighted the complexities of managing long-standing institutional problems that span different political eras, including the legacies of both the current Fidesz administration and previous socialist governments.
