Hungarian Opinion: Péter Magyar Suspected of Being Supported by Bajnai’s Men

• 29 Apr 2024 5:24 AM

The pro-government nationwide daily repeats its claim that Péter Magyar’s movement numbers Datadat, an IT business linked to former Socialist PM Gordon Bajnai, among its partners.

On Thursday, Magyar Nemzet carried a detailed report on the presence of a Vienna-based company among the partners listed on the website of the Stand Up, Hungarians! community, founded by Péter Magyar. The CEO of the company which is a subsidiary of Datadat, is Ádám Ficsor, Bajnai’s former minister in charge of the secret services. Magyar and Datadat denied being partners in any way.

In a Magyar Nemzet editorial on Friday, Dávid Megyeri repeats his paper’s accusation and finds it curious that Magyar’s movement deleted the reference to the Vienna-based company from its website. He also suspects foreign, namely US sources behind Datadat, which has supported left-wing forces in previous elections. However, Megyeri writes, as past electoral results have shown, Datadat looks fairly inefficient in its political efforts.

Evidence Suggests Budapest City Hall Sale Allegation Was 'Criminal Smear Campaign', Says Mayor

• 29 Nov 2022 7:26 AM

Evidence suggests that the “false” allegation that people close to the metropolitan administration were planning to sell the City Hall building was part of a “criminal smear campaign” aided and abetted by people connected with the government and ruling Fidesz party, Budapest Mayor Gergely Karácsony said, noting that former Prime Minister Gordon Bajnai had posted an official police document on its decision to close down the investigation which, he insisted, indicated that the people responsible for the “smear campaign against him” had “committed a criminal act”.
