From 1990, he has been a member of the Hungarian Socialist Party (MSZP), and from 2000 the vice chairman of the party.

According to the indictment Juhász undersold a ministry-owned apartment to Fapál around 2005 or 2006, which caused an estimated damage of 43 million Ft to the Ministry of Defence. Juhász told MTI his accusation was "obviously acting on political pressure". In February 2014, both politicians were acquitted.
