Fidesz party political and administrative activities

Overview

The Fidesz party has engaged in several public-facing activities involving historical and administrative sites in Hungary. In September, the party announced it would hold an October 23 commemoration at the House of Terror Museum in Budapest to protest against “new communist tyranny.” This announcement occurred amidst administrative restructuring of the museum, which included the dismissal of Director Mária Schmidt and the transfer of the museum’s management from its previous foundation to Cultural Asset Management Ltd. following a parliamentary decision.

In October, MEP Tamás Deutsch led a public tour of the Fidesz headquarters on Lendvay Street. During the tour, Deutsch highlighted the building’s historical features and addressed political criticisms regarding the party’s acquisition of real estate after the 1990 elections, maintaining that all actions were legal.
