As is known, government commissioner Tibor Navracsics wrote a letter to Veronika Bakonyi, the director of the Tapolca City Cinema, explaining the request of countless local residents to screen the hit movie Elk.rtuk, but the director refused. We assume that he could not have done otherwise (?) in a left-wing city if he wanted to keep his job. The piquancy of the case is that the city is not run by a member of the MSZP or DK, but by Zoltán Dobó from Jobbik.
Now the same thing happened in Vác .
Despite the fact that more than a hundred thousand people have already seen the film Elkxrtuk, the left-wing city administration also put obstacles in the way of the screening of the film in the rural town. Although the local Fidelitas wanted to rent out the theater, the city did not agree to this, reports Váconline.
The background of the case is that Fidelitas in Vác informed the management of the theater in Vác in a letter that they would rent the theater for the general rental fee in order to screen the political crime drama about the leaking of the Ószöd speech there.
The inquiry was sent to the theater because there is no cinema in Vác, which has a population of 34,000, but the theater has the best projection facilities and sound technology. Anyway, the building used to function as a cinema, and it was renovated a few years ago with a government subsidy of nearly HUF 350 million.
The theater management of the left-wing city refused to rent the hall for the screening of the film. Executive Katalin Varga wrote in her reply that they are subject to such rules that Fidelitas "does not allow us to rent".
The facts:
- Katalin Varga came to the head of the theater under scandalous circumstances already during the left-wing city administration.
– The theater professional committee found his application unsuitable, but despite this, the left-wing city administration appointed him director.
– Katalin Varga also sued Váconline in connection with the report, but she lost the lawsuit.
- Mayor Ilona Matkovich has already explained on city TV how important the loyalty shown to the city management is by a theater director.
Ilona Matkovich's first mayor's order after taking office was the so-called it was a gag order that censored the speeches and Facebook posts of employees of city companies, and which the ombudsman also found illegal. Soon, the town's most popular and most visited regular public event, the Váci Civic Evenings, made its way out of the theater. And this autumn - breaking a twenty-year practice - Stop Gyurcsány! the stand for collecting signatures was also removed from the city market, where the parties had been operating freely for decades, reports Váconline.
