Acquired by the former prime minister&#8217;s father in 2011, the estate has undergone extensive modernization and serves as a symbol of the wealth accumulated by Orb\u00e1n\u2019s inner circle.<\/p>\n<h4>Orb\u00e1n\u2019s U.S. Trip and Polish Connections<\/h4>\n<p>Orb\u00e1n, who lost to Magyar in April\u2019s elections, traveled to the U.S. to attend football championship matches. Magyar\u2019s reference to &#8220;Polish political criminals&#8221; is widely interpreted as an allusion to former Polish Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro and his associate Marcin Romanowski. Ziobro, currently facing charges related to irregularities in the Justice Fund, previously resided in Hungary before confirming his stay in the United States.<\/p>\n<h4>Judicial Developments and Constitutional Reform<\/h4>\n<p>The Warsaw Regional Court recently denied requests for a European Arrest Warrant and a standard arrest warrant for Ziobro. Meanwhile, the Hungarian parliament is debating the 17th constitutional amendment, which proposes a 12-year term limit for members of parliament and would facilitate the removal of President Tamas Sulyok, who was selected by the previous administration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During Monday&#8217;s National Assembly session, Hungarian opposition leader P\u00e9ter Magyar attacked Viktor Orb\u00e1n\u2019s trip to the United States, questioning whether the former prime minister will return from abroad or remain with &#8220;Polish political criminals.&#8221; The &#8220;Don Hatvanpuszta&#8221; Allegation P\u00e9ter Magyar employed the mocking nickname &#8220;Don Hatvanpuszta&#8221; to describe Orb\u00e1n, referencing a lavish estate in Hatvanpustha [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wpai_generated_summary":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11475","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics-and-law"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bizonews.com\/pl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11475","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bizonews.com\/pl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bizonews.com\/pl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bizonews.com\/pl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bizonews.com\/pl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11475"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/bizonews.com\/pl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11475\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bizonews.com\/pl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11475"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bizonews.com\/pl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11475"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bizonews.com\/pl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11475"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
