Hungarian dispute over Blue Planet Foundation dissolution

Overview

The Blue Planet Climate Protection Foundation (Kék Bolygó Klímavédelmi Alapítvány), an organization associated with former President János Áder, is facing dissolution by the Hungarian state. Prime Minister Péter Magyar announced that the foundation will cease to exist in its current form on August 31, with its duties being transferred to the state.

The foundation has initiated legal action against the Prime Minister’s Office, claiming the dissolution decision is unlawful. The organization maintains it has cooperated fully with government auditors and intended to repay assets received under its public task status to the state with interest to continue operating under the Civil Code.

János Áder has criticized the move, accusing the Prime Minister of “uncontrolled political rampage” and “political revenge.” Áder alleges the government’s actions violate the rule of law and involve direct interference in ministerial operations, specifically citing a written ultimatum from Minister Bálint Ruff regarding the foundation’s future.
