Győr+ Média Zrt. executives received high salaries despite company losses

Data obtained through a public interest request reveals significant salary increases for executives at Győr+ Média Zrt., a municipal media company in Győr that has since ceased operations. Despite declining revenues and increasing losses, leadership compensation saw substantial rises during periods associated with political campaigning.

While earlier CEOs received monthly gross salaries between 690,000 and 750,000 HUF, later appointments saw much higher figures. Balázs Kolossváry, a former editor-in-chief of Blikk, received a record gross monthly salary of 3 million HUF between July and December 2025. Other recent leaders, including Rebeka Tóth and Bernadett Holló, received monthly gross salaries of 2 million HUF and 2.5 million HUF, respectively.

Sources describe the management style under Fidesz leadership as being driven by personal preferences, characterizing the environment as resembling a North Korean-style system.
