Addendums to the Iványi case: this story didn't just start either

We are writing the summer of 1996. Gábor Demszky had already been mayor of Budapest for six years, yet the SZDSZ mayor had to express an opinion on the case of his own party colleague, former member of parliament Gábor Iványi It was a serious internal match between Péter Győri, ex-SZETA (Szegények Támogato Alap) but at the Menhely Foundation, and the leader of the Hungarian Evangelical Brotherhood (MET).

What happened was that on June 26, 1996, the Social Policy and Housing Committee initiated proceedings against Iványi for "reasonable suspicion of a disciplinary offense arising from a public employee relationship" The director of the Budapest Social Center and Institutions (FSZKI), responsible for the care of the homeless in Budapest, was charged with

– that he accumulated a debt stock of more than HUF 10 million,

– that he did not take financial limitations into account in his work,

– that "occasionally - from a one-time benefit - he undertook a long-term commitment",

– and that he expanded his institution with an ambulance service and medical care.

As Magyar Narancs' report at the time , the disciplinary meeting held behind closed doors at the end of the summer resulted in two of the 13 accusations being found to be serious, and Iványi was merely reprimanded. With the right to the last word, the pastor announced: "I reject the whole case, as a conceptual case that evokes bad memories of the communist era" . He then indicated that he would appeal to the labor court.

By the way, the liberal weekly summed up the matter as follows - saving what could be saved: "However, the bureaucratic dragging of the person who perhaps did the most for the homeless in the capital is a very sad story, which on the surface is about the professional rivalry of SZDSZ social politicians. that not all homeless people can be helped."

There is something that isn't there, but it didn't go where it should
