DatAdat, a communication and data analysis company linked to Ferenc Gyurcsány's confidants, was able to pocket HUF two billion in the 12 months before the election. According to the company's report, the majority of their income evaporated quickly, with the exception of HUF 67,000. Ltd., which is wedged into the international network. because it could spend approximately HUF 1.8 billion on so-called sold (intermediate) services.
DatAdat and its moon court have been in the spotlight again recently. Magyar Nemzet recently wrote: the foreign-funded Hungarian left-wing company group has many foreign businesses, and the American Democratic Party people in Vienna are the majority owners - read the article of Adataradar, the portal for public interest data requests.
Last year, DatAdat Professional Kft. was able to gain at least fifty million forints in extra income, while their profit after tax, mainly from financial operations, could double the 457 million forints in 2020 - we wrote to Gordon Bajnai, Ádám Ficsor, Viktor Szigetvári and Tibor Dessewffy on June 1st. so about a company linked to emblematic figures of the left. At the same time, Magyar Nemzet indicated that the company dealing with consulting, data analysis and processing last year chose the end of the first quarter as the date of its balance sheet, so it is difficult to be sure about its operation before the parliamentary elections.
Gordon Bajnai's DatAdat was staffed by seasoned campaign experts and real big guns from overseas. Ltd. its most recent report contained disappointing data in terms of dividends: not a single penny was paid to the members, but the net revenue from sales exceeded HUF two billion
- writes Adataradar. This was more than a tenfold increase compared to 2020, at a time when the waves of the coronavirus epidemic were crushing the economy and everyone except the pharmaceutical industry was struggling to survive.
The leaders of DatAdat were able to pocket an amount corresponding to almost sixty percent of the campaign expenses declared by the left (3.5 billion forints) in the period from April 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022.
Given that the election was held on April 3, the percentage could be much higher.
The group of companies that is considered the brain of the opposition is essentially controlled by the Americans, whose man in Hungary is Gordon Bajnai.
Of course, it is not known whether the share of the two billion forints could have come from the six parties and the Movement for Everyone for Hungary, which is behind Péter Márki-Zay. In any case, the failed Prime Minister candidate admitted to 24. hu: the company did most of the background work. In fact, he was one of the politicians and activists who spoke to the portal, who said:
We turned to them if we needed a video or a Facebook campaign, and they did it, produced it, and delivered it. DatAdat also worked for some candidates, but there was also an example where they paid for the prime minister candidate's lunch.
The fact that only HUF 67,000 of the above-mentioned two billion forints remained as taxed profit, and also that HUF 1.8 billion were spent on so-called sold (intermediate) services, raises many questions. Their additional expenses can probably be related to their active participation in the opposition campaign. The general statistical headcount at DatAdat increased to 28 people, and the personnel expenditure to HUF 189 million - the latter means that the company allocated an average of HUF 560,000 per month to its employees.
Why and where almost two billion forints have evaporated is a mystery for the time being, which is made even more exciting by the fact that the company is part of an international network of companies whose foreign members are barely visible.
