Reply from the State Audit Office to Magyar Péter
The State Audit Office considers the Prime Minister’s statements as government interference and firmly rejects them. It emphasizes that as an independent institution, its role is to oversee the government, not vice versa. It considers it particularly problematic that the executive branch is interfering in its operations, especially given the ongoing investigation into the funding of the Tisza Party and other political organizations.
The State Audit Office considers and rejects the Prime Minister’s statements as an unprecedented government intervention. The organization emphasizes that the Parliament, as an independent body, controls the government, not the other way around. Referring to the separation of powers, the institution has made it clear that the executive branch is not entitled to review the functioning of the Parliament, and this is particularly inappropriate given the current investigation into the financing of the Tisza Party and other political organizations.
