Former Hungarian Justice Minister Judit Varga recently made an appearance at the AmCham Hungary forum, sparking speculation about her future plans. Varga, who resigned earlier this year, was seen in the company of US Chargé d’Affaires Robert Palladino and Hungary's Ambassador to Washington, Szabolcs Takács.
Palladino thanked AmCham Hungary for the invitation on X (formerly Twitter), highlighting the strong US-Hungarian partnership and the potential for expanding trade, energy, and innovation ties. While government-aligned media described Varga as being in "excellent form," AmCham's official statement did not mention her attendance or the capacity in which she participated.
The Big Question: A Political Comeback?
Varga's presence at the forum has fueled rumours about a possible return to politics. However, Gergely Gulyás, speaking at a government press conference in August, stated that Varga's return was "not a current issue." Gulyás added that Varga has no intention of returning to politics, though he acknowledged her as an "excellent minister and politician" whose involvement in Hungarian public life would be beneficial.
What's Next?
The circumstances surrounding Varga's resignation remain a sensitive topic. Her appearance at the AmCham forum raises questions about her future career path and whether she intends to remain in the public eye. The lack of official acknowledgement from AmCham regarding her presence only adds to the intrigue. Will she return to politics? Only time will tell.
