Head of Viktor Orbán’s Favored Think Tank Resigns Over Unpaid Wages

The head of a think tank closely associated with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has stepped down amid reports of unpaid wages. The resignation adds pressure to an organization considered influential within the government’s political and policy circles. Employees reportedly face financial uncertainty as concerns grow over the institution’s ability to meet its obligations. The departure could intensify scrutiny of the think tank’s funding, management, and relationship with Orbán’s administration, though officials have not publicly detailed the reasons behind the wage delays.
