László Windisch

László Windisch served as the National Bank of Hungary's deputy governor for financial supervision and consumer protection from 2013 to 2019, then was elected president of the State Audit Office (ÁSZ) on 6 July 2022. Under his presidency, the ÁSZ ruled in February 2024 that six opposition parties — DK, Jobbik, Momentum, MSZP, LMP and Párbeszéd — had accepted a combined 261.26 million forints in prohibited support from the Mindenki Magyarországa Mozgalom during the 2022 election campaign, and ordered them to repay the sum within 15 days; the leaders of Momentum and Jobbik criticized the ruling as a politically timed tool of the government ahead of the 2024 municipal elections. In June 2026, Windisch petitioned the Budapest Metropolitan Court to remove Ferenc Biró, president of the Integrity Authority — a body created in 2023 under EU pressure to identify corruption risks and oversee the use of EU funds in Hungary — after the Central Investigating Prosecutor's Office charged Biró with abuse of office and forgery of public documents. The case is a documented example of a Fidesz-era-appointed state official using his institutional powers against the head of a separate anti-corruption oversight body.
