If the minister knew about this, he kept it quiet, if he did not know about it, then the government is following the events with a considerable lag.

In the last 10 years Péter Szijjártó never flew on commercial flights to official visits. In July 15, a direct Budapest to Brussel flight was available, but the Minister opted to requisition an identical military-owned plane.

Péter Szijjártó decided to use an ultra long-range jet for a trip to Slovakia, saving himself 1.5 hours at the cost of millions in taxpayers' forints.

Hungarian foreign affairs minister posted on social media about riding a humble train on his US visit, forgetting to mention the private luxury jet following him close behind.

Under the legislation, ministers are entitled to a "first class equivalent" air ticket by default, but this can be waived. Szijjártó does so regularly.

Just when the foreign minister was busy in New York and Brussels, the military planes weren't available, so they hired him a luxury jet.
