The former head of government said in an interview that it was a shame to attend the meeting where he was asked for advice on investment matters and the conversation was recorded.
major interview with 24.hu, Bajnai talks about his relationship with Gyula Gansperger, with whom he worked in the reorganization of the Wallis group between 2003-2005, but he knew him before that. According to him, they are not friends and have not had a working relationship for some time.
According to him, the press close to Fidesz is trying to discredit him, with a tendentious cut-up recording of the secretly recorded conversation. According to his summary
“One: I was called to a meeting. Two: when I arrived, a photo was taken showing Gyula Gansperger and me. Three: after that, someone recorded our conversation in excellent quality. Four: weeks later, a five-minute lying version of this one-hour conversation, cut almost word for word, was released to the public. Five: all of this was organized into a methodically constructed campaign of character-killing lies about the City Hall.
Based on all of this, for me there is no question for a single moment that this was an organized, illegal operation carried out with secret service methods."
he added.
"provoked"
He also confirmed that he filed a complaint with the police against an unknown perpetrator the previous Friday, as he had previously described the meeting as a deliberate provocation, but he does not want to name names until the investigation is completed.
According to Bajnai, Fidesz's goal
"so that the voters say in the spring: this also steals, that also steals".
In the City Hall action, Gergely Karácsony was the main target, because they thought he would be the opposition's candidate for prime minister. I, who was known to support him, was provoked into a conversation that was twisted from its original meaning"
- said the former prime minister.
