Restructuring events
European Restructuring Monitor (ERM)
The restructuring events database contains factsheets with data on large-scale restructuring events reported in the principal national media and company websites in each EU Member State. This database was created in 2002.
Digital Democracy Development Agency ("Digitális Demokráciafejlesztési Ügynökség (DDÜ)") is a Hungarian political-marketing agency operating out of a 13th-district office in Budapest. The agency announced a reduction of about 110 jobs, representing roughly 92 per cent of its current workforce.
The restructuring follows a sharp decline in financing after the governing Fidesz party’s election defeat. The company is also reportedly planning to relocate its operations, although the future location has not yet been disclosed.
The layoffs started immediately during internal staff meetings, with around 60 coordinators reportedly dismissed first, while remaining employees were called individually and encouraged to leave through mutual termination agreements. Only a small core team, estimated at around 10 employees, is expected to remain.
The company managed the party's digital political communications, coordinated online campaigns and employed around 120 workers according to February 2026 registry data.
