Hungary’s governing Socialists propose that parliament should decide next Monday about the appointment of the State Audit Office’s (ASZ) president and two deputies, the party’s deputy parliamentary group leader said on Wednesday.
The Socialists will propose at the nomination committee’s Friday meeting that Arpad Kovacs should be re-elected as president of the organisation and his deputies should be chosen from among chief secretary Pal Csapodi and two chief directors Pal Becker and Zoltan Lorant.
Kovacs’s mandate expires on Wednesday, but parliament has failed to replace him, not because of a disagreement over Kovacs’s post, but because of differences over the posts of ASZ’s two vice presidents, which have been vacant for years.
