Judge Csaba Vasvári attacked the government again, this time in the columns of the liberal British newspaper The Guardian. However, a passage of text that would help put Csaba Vasvári's years of anti-government agitation into context has disappeared from the lawyer's Wikipedia page: his role in the Gyurcsány terror attack in 2006.
Csaba Vasvári, the group leader judge of the Pest Central District Court, the press spokesman of the National Judicial Council, spoke to the liberal British newspaper The Guardian, in whose columns he expressed his opinion that the "government interferes in the work of the courts".
The lawyer's words ripped through the left-wing media - as usual.
In such cases, it is common for those who do not know the name of the interviewee to find out who exactly the speaker is, what kind of professional background he/she has.
Wikipedia pages are typically among the first hits.
Vasvári has been continuing his fight against the government and the judicial organization for years now. - His professional and political roles are notable, including primarily his stances in cases arising from the confrontation between the National Judicial Council and the National Court Office - can be read on the judge's Wikipedia page, from which, however, an entry about Vasvári's role in 2006 disappeared in the fall of 2021.
Namely this: "After the riots in Budapest in the fall of 2006 - especially the siege of the MTV headquarters - hundreds of innocent people were arbitrarily placed in pretrial detention, based solely on police allegations. Most of the suspects were picked up randomly from the street or dragged away from entertainment venues by the police, and then they were accused of assaulting them. Vasvári's decisions were annulled without exception as unfounded by the Capital Court of Appeals acting at the second instance.
