Controversies edit

In February 2012, Zsiga made controversial comments about salaries of public works program. In response to a question, Zsiga said it is possible to live off 47,000 forints (c. € 162) per month. According to the opposition critics, the Orbán cabinet has reduced the salary from 60,200 forints before that.[4]
