In August and September 2025, protesters — many organized by anti-corruption activist Ákos Hadházy — marched to the gates of Hatvanpuszta, calling it Orbán’s “Versailles” and demanding accountability.
They carried signs and zebra imagery, referencing the exotic animals reportedly kept on the grounds. Some protesters used ladders to peek over fences.
Their demands included transparency over who financed the redevelopment, whether the estate was improperly benefiting from state contracts, and why a privately held property could receive what many viewed as public-level privileges.
