If Hungary has a patron saint of the fight against corruption, it is Ákos Hadházy. If you don't have it yet, I can recommend Ákos Hadházy for this task. This is how András Fekete-Győr, the president of Momentum, who will run in his party's colors in the primary election in Zugló, presented his latest credentials a few weeks ago. Moreover, he added that the constituency should have a "transparent, fair and honest member of parliament like Ákos Hadházy".
In comparison, it has now been revealed that Hadházy, who has only been referred to as a representative with holes in his socks since the "siege" of Hungarian Television, violated the law. For five years, since he entered the Parliament, he has been hiding from the public that in addition to his parliamentary work, he has also been actively practicing in the animal hospital he owns.
This is also problematic because even in this year's asset declaration he wrote that he was taking a break from his original occupation. Since 2016, the left-wing representative has entered 459 pet passports and 856 microchip implants into the so-called PetVet system, according to
data provided by Nébih in February. However, these services are paid: at Hadházy's clinic, they implant chips in pets for HUF 3,500.
According to the signs, Hadházy-VET Kft. is earning particularly well, as the company had an income of nearly 40 million in 2019. This amount is not at all small compared to the fact that the left-wing politician spends a significant part of his time on his public work.
However, the Act on the National Assembly prohibits representatives from engaging in other gainful activities and earning income in addition to their parliamentary work. The law also provides that conflict of interest proceedings can be initiated in such cases if any representative initiates it. Ultimately, his representative mandate may also be terminated.
