Zoltán Kész, Péter Márki-Zay's former adviser, has published an open letter on Facebook, in which he asks his former boss to account for the campaign funds, or more precisely the lack thereof. According to him, it is theft to use the grants given by the donors for a clearly defined purpose and not for that purpose.

"You don't have to talk about honesty, you have to act like it. I deeply agreed with one of the most important points of your campaign, according to which they attack because you do not tolerate theft," Zoltán Kész begins his Facebook post His former advisor Péter Márki-Zay explains: as a member of the management of the Everyone's Hungary Movement

makes the maintenance of his management membership dependent on Márki-Zay settling the campaign money this month.

"Accounting means two things in my eyes. On the one hand, we will find out exactly what MMM spent the supporters' money on, and it will also become clear to the public how MMM returns the remaining amount from the donations transferred to the campaign to the donors," the post reads .

Zoltán Kész emphasizes: using the grants given by the donors clearly tied to a purpose other than for the purpose (for example, to build a party out of it) is theft, which no one in the MMM can tolerate.

The debate is about a hundred million campaign donation

In any case, a six-party decision must be made on the fate of the remaining money - Hungarian Nation's left-wing sources said in unison in connection with the fact that, according to press reports, Péter Márki-Zay's Mindinki Magyarországa Mozgalom (MMM) kept the unspent campaign donation of more than one hundred million for itself. It is telling that Márki-Zay, who has always accused the government of corruption, collects subsidies in a tangled, opaque way.

Sándor Vékás, the operational director of MMM, told Telex that they have not made the settlement public so far because they still have unclosed payments, but according to him, they will be closed by the end of May, and the settlement will be done. At the same time, Vékás made it clear that they consider it their own money, since "it was transferred to MMM, on MMM's interfaces". He claimed that it was "not a particularly large" amount.

However, this is disputed by the members of the joint campaign team and the opposition politicians interviewed by Telex.

"Don't let anyone tell me that people donated hundreds of millions of forints specifically to the Everyone's Hungary Movement! Well, in the minds of my mother, my girlfriend or my friends, it was certainly not that they were giving money to the MMM, but that they were giving for the change of government"

- blurted out one of the workers of the opposition campaign staff.

Not only was there no itemized settlement, but not even enough to pay attention, we still remember this thing

- and this was said by a left-wing politician. According to him, the whole case is problematic because most of the donors probably did not want to support the MMM, but the change of government and the political forces fighting for it.

It is telling that Márki-Zay, who has always accused the government of corruption, collects subsidies in a tangled, opaque way. It is a fact that MMM has its own website through which it collects donations, but the same bank account number is listed here as on the Egységben Magyarorszért page. Péter Márki-Zay also collects support on his own website, but this interface directs those who want to donate to the support page for Hungary in Unity. Based on this, however, it is clear that the MMM itself cannot disentangle exactly how much of the funds received in the account came from the MMM, how much from Egység for Hungary and how much through Márki-Zay's website.
