• Former Hungarian minister Szijjártó joins BYD as executive.
• EU probes BYD's Hungarian plant over alleged illegal subsidies.
• NGO reports forced labor at BYD's Hungary site.

"Péter Szijjártó, Hungary's former foreign minister, resigned his parliamentary seat to take an executive role at Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer BYD. The move comes amid EU investigations into alleged illegal state subsidies for BYD's plant in Hungary and reports of forced labor at the site. Critics highlight the lack of a cooling-off period for former ministers in Hungary, calling it a 'revolving doors' case. BYD faces a 17% EU tariff on Chinese-made EVs."
