The Hungarian ministry of national development responded by saying it would do its best “to sustain the airline’s uninterrupted operation”, adding that discussions with a “strategic investor” were in progress.
(Financial Times)

Strategic investor? Who on Earth would decide to put big money into this overstaffed and chronically failing airline? Unless... In fact, I can see some similarities between Viktor Orban conservative-nationalist government and Italian's Berlusconi. He also "mysteriously" saved Alitalia pouring "private" money into financially unsuccessful state enterprise. Is Orban looking for a similar solution in Hungary?
