Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar toured a ministry building in Budapest on Friday and opened the offices to public visits. Magyar removed barriers that had restricted press and opposition access to the former prime minister's offices. He stated that the premises had been renovated with excessive luxury.
Magyar conducted the tour during a live Facebook broadcast on Tuesday, May 12. He commented on a smoking room in the offices of former minister Antal Rogan, saying it was funded by taxpayers. The offices are located in the castle district of Budapest.
Rogan had moved into the premises in 2025 while overseeing the government's communications operations. Magyar also visited the former Carmelite Monastery, where Viktor Orban had maintained an office. The new prime minister invited Hungarian citizens to view the spaces to assess how public funds were used.
