Just a couple of examples for anyone who wants to see some. A $200 million "privately funded" soccer field/academy that gave huge tax breaks to all companies involved in his home village of 1800 people. It seats 4000, more than double the towns residences, over an hour away from any large city. Orban is apprently a huge soccer fan, so im sure having a brand new stadium built in his tiny home town was just a coincidence.

This also included a $3 million, EU funded train that goes 3 miles from the village to another one that just so happens to have another of his familys palaces. Orban got EU funding for that train by promising it would have 2000 riders/day. Instead, in its first year, it had less than 2000 riders, total. Yes, instead of 730,000 riders/yr, it had 2000 riders/yr. It now just runs on weekends.

Also, apprently all highway work in the country is done though subcontractors that all buy stone from Orbans fathers stone mine at marked up prices.
