Hungary Fines Main Opposition Party Over Billboards Funded by Orban Foe

Hungary's State Audit Office (ASZ) has fined the main, nationalist opposition party Jobbik 331. 66 million forints ($1. 29 million) for an anti-government billboard campaign funded by a wealthy adversary of Prime Minister Viktor Orban. Jobbik, which entered parliament in 2010 on a radical far-right agenda, is now projecting a centrist image in a bid to unseat Orban at an election due in April, where his Fidesz looks well-placed to retain power. Confirming the findings of a preliminary report, Hungary's State Audit Office (ASZ) said Jobbik had been fined for running an advertising campaign at below market prices.
