Former cultural minister Balázs Hankó has been accused of misusing cultural funding to support political campaigns, particularly benefiting the Fidesz party ahead of elections.

A scandal arose when a Roma cultural organization received significant funding shortly before the elections, with its leader allegedly distributing gift cards to voters in support of Hankó’s candidacy.

The article suggests that a secret fund of 17 billion forints was used to support Fidesz-affiliated artists and events, raising concerns about transparency and the integrity of cultural funding.
