Controversies

In March 2011, Fidesz parliamentary group and the party's ethics committee concluded that Zsiga unlawfully consumed public funds jointly after his position of MP and representative in the Miskolc local government. Zsiga admitted the breaking of laws and forced to repay the money used illegally.[3]

In February 2012, Zsiga made controversial comments about salaries of public works program. In response to a question, Zsiga said it is possible to live off 47,000 forints (c. 162) per month.
