In a surprising turn of events, just days after Foreign Affairs and Trade Minister Péter Szijjártó inked a cooperation pact with BYD, the Hungarian government redirected its attention to the Chinese automotive behemoth's plans for a factory in Szeged. On Monday, centrist Hungarian politician Péter Magyar announced in parliament that a thorough review would be conducted of all of Szijjártó's decisions, negotiations, and state pledges related to BYD's investment in Hungary. Then, on Wednesday, two significant developments unfolded concurrently, one of which signaled the commencement of a formal on-site investigation at the local level, transcending mere political squabbles.
