Public confidence in anti-corruption accountability varies sharply between party supporters

According to data commissioned by 21 Kutatóközpont, Tisza Party voters overwhelmingly trust one outlet accountability efforts, while Fidesz supporters are divided, with only a small share convinced that elite figures receive proper punishment. Across all participants, most express at least moderate satisfaction with the progress of anti-corruption actions, though a sizable portion of Fidesz voters anticipate stronger outcomes.

The survey also asked about overall approval, finding that a clear majority are content with the measures taken to date. Notably, the fieldwork coincided with the parliament’s decision to suspend the immunity of Hankó Balázs, Seszták Miklós and Magyar Péter, leading to the detention of the first two and the arrest of Hankó Balázs. These developments may have influenced public sentiment toward accountability.
