Outlandish severance payments to Gyurcsany's ex-ministers

Wednesday, May 13, 2009


Twenty Socialist Ex-Ministers and high ranking government officials of the previous Gyurcsany regime demanding 35.4 million forints severance payments from the Bajnai government, reported the Blikk.

The biggest chunk of money might go to Ex-Finance Minister, János Veres (see the picture) that has a lion share bankrupting the county. The bully has been also demanding 175 days of holiday payments for leaves not taken during his tenure as a Minister of Finance.

Legal experts are disputing these claims. According to some, the law requires employees to take holidays each year; holidays cannot be transferred to the next year and so on, accumulating them ad infinitum. And this is exactly what these people are doing.

While the recession is biting hard ordinary Hungarians, ministers have received outlandish bonuses while served in the government. According to Blikk, just in the last year 50 million forints were given to them, in the form of bonuses. During the past ten years, they have received 197 million forints bonuses, meanwhile they were busy bankrupting the country.
