Zsófia Rácz
Nepotism
Appointed as deputy state secretary for youth at age 22, after the government changed the law to allow appointment without a university degree, signalling the primacy of political loyalty over experience. Built her career via the Fidesz-aligned Alapjogokért Központ and youth diplomacy, reinforcing the party's influence over youth structures. Her appointment was widely criticised as emblematic of the regime's nepotistic and loyalty-based staffing of key state positions.
