Gyurcsány’s infamous speech to a closed event of the Socialist party in Balatonőszöd, in which he admitted to lying about the state of the economy to win the election, was first broadcast on Hungarian Radio in September 2006.

It included the remarks: “we did nothing for four years ... we lied morning, night and evening. I don’t want to do it anymore.” The speech then triggered prolonged anti-government riots and demonstrations.

The report cannot fully be declassified and released to the public as the privacy rights of those involved must be respected, said Pintér. In response, Gyurcsány said authorities should make the whole speech public since selecting from it would open up the possibility of manipulation.
