He recalled: the left-wing parties fell into a serious spiral of lies, since at first they mentioned “micro-donations”, and then it turned out that only a few big supporters gave the “intoxicating amount” of money. They then tried to divert the suspicion by saying that NGOs were supported with the money, but it was proven that this was not true either, said the committee chairman.
According to him, Mayor Gergely Karácsony should also be involved in the case, since he was a candidate for Prime Minister in the campaign, and “one of his most trusted advisers, Dávid Korányi, operated” the system of foreign financing.
Erik Bánki called it completely out of the question that the foreign money would have gone only to Prime Minister candidate Péter Márki-Zay. He added:
every member of the left coalition had to be aware of where the money was coming from and for what purposes it would be used.
