The report of the legal committee received 12 "pros" from the liberal, social democrat and Hungarian deputies and eight "cons" from democrat liberal deputies.

Although invited to attend the meeting for further hearings, Ridzi refused to attend the works of the committee.

On September 16, Ridzi filed a criminal complaint with the General Prosecutors' Office against the members of the parliament inquiry committee investigating the manner in which the "Youth Days" event was organized in May this year.

On June 23, the Chamber approved the setting up of an inquiry committee to probe allegations of fund misappropriation against Ridzi.

The allegations of fund misappropriation were forwarded by liberal lawmakers, who claimed Ridzi mishandled money allocated for organizing the celebrations on Youth Day.
