Gyurcsány fortunes suffer double reversal
Seems that 2009 wasn't only bad for the political career of Ferenc Gyurcsány. In addition to losing his seat at the head of Hungary's political table, he took home less money. According to napi.hu, the wide-loathed former prime minister saw his net earning drop Ft 34 million, to "just" Ft 103 million (though up from Ft 82.5 million in 2007). Keep in mind, however, that these are only the official figures he provided under disclosure rules; there could be lots more going on in the background. Which, come to think of it, could also be true for his political fortunes.
