The German daily reported that prior to the relationship between Simicska and Prime Minister Viktor Orbán going sour, company’s associated with the media mogul had received 40% of monies distributed through public procurements. Le Monde reported that Simicska, who was a staunch supporter of Orbán and his cause, had given more interviews to left-wing media in four hours than he had in four years announcing his plans to retaliate against ruling Fidesz party.
