Viktor Orbán
As a consqeunce of the fallout with the Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, Simicska funded the radical party Jobbik in the 2018 election. After Viktor Orbán had won a third consecutive parliamentary supermajority in the 2018 parliamentary election, Simicska shut down the newspaper "Magyar Nemzet" which had been the top conservative newspaper, and had had a 80 year history in print. He also shut down Lánchíd Rádió. Shortly afterward, Simicska closed or sold all of his remaining holdings.
