Construction Minister Vitézy warns of imminent bans on firms linked to Mészáros and Szíjj
Construction Minister Vitézy Dávid said the government will soon announce serious measures that could bar companies owned by Mészáros Lőrince and Szíjj László from public building contracts.
In a recent podcast appearance, Construction and Transport Minister Vitézy Dávid announced that the government plans to issue significant announcements targeting companies linked to Mészáros Lőrince and Szíjj László. These firms are under scrutiny after the authorities revealed procurement abuses that may lead to their disqualification from participating in public construction tenders. Vitézy also mentioned ongoing talks with the state-owned road company Magyar Közút, which aims to increase its internal construction capabilities so it can later carry out road repairs without relying on external bidders.
He emphasized that concrete decisions will be communicated in the next few weeks. The statements signal a tightening of oversight over public-sector contracts and a possible shift toward greater in-house execution of infrastructure projects.
Why it matters
The move could reshape Hungary's construction market and tighten government control over public procurement.
