Miskolc Holding Zrt. contributes 10 million to support Moto‑Rock festival

Miskolc Holding Zrt., a municipal company burdened with debt, provided a 10 million forint contribution to the Moto‑Rock festival in Miskolc. The funding covered the cost of roughly 1,330 day‑ticket equivalents after the organizers, in partnership with the Miskolc Cultural Centre, made the event free due to low ticket sales. The city also offered the venue at no charge, prompting criticism that public money was used to subsidise a cultural event without sufficient public interest. The festival, promoted as a major rock and motor‑bike gathering, received additional indirect support from the municipality, raising questions about the transparency and appropriateness of the financial aid.
