Before fully handing over power, Hungarian Prime Minister Orbán and his allies have begun desperately transferring assets abroad! On April 27, according to foreign media reports, following Viktor Orbán's defeat in the general election, numerous associates linked to his party are frantically moving and safeguarding their vast fortunes. Multiple private jets are suspected of being loaded with enormous assets accumulated during his 16-year rule, departing one after another from Vienna, while other related individuals are rushing to move their assets overseas.

Foreign media report that some high-ranking figures are also attempting to apply for U.S. visas and seeking positions within institutions affiliated with the "Make America Great Again" faction in the United States. Incoming Prime Minister Péter Márki-Zay stated that oligarchs closely tied to Fidesz are transferring billions of euros to places like the UAE and the U.S., aiming to avoid accountability and prosecution. Clearly, after their electoral defeat, Orbán and his allies have now become like birds startled by a sudden sound.

According to available information, Orbán’s official handover date is May 9. It is evident that he and his allies are seizing the final window of power to carry out massive asset transfers. During his 16-year tenure, Orbán’s inner circle amassed great wealth through government contracts, EU infrastructure funding, and monopolistic privileges—wealth that is highly likely to be unsustainable under scrutiny. As a former protégé of Orbán, Márki-Zay undoubtedly knows the inside secrets; once formally in power, he will surely take decisive action against Orbán and his close allies.

These individuals’ current mass transfer of assets aims to prevent both personal and financial losses, securing their escape routes in advance. They fully understand that if they remain within Hungary, their businesses and bank accounts could be frozen or seized at any moment, and they themselves may face investigations and prosecutions—rendering years of illicit enrichment utterly worthless. Given this momentum, it’s possible that Orbán himself might choose to flee Hungary before power is handed over, otherwise he could face imprisonment.
