Marc Angel (pictured), who openly accepts his homosexuality, deals a lot with domestic politics in Hungary, and is an active critic of the Child Protection Act and Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. DatAdat representatives met with him.
Marc Angel - he became the vice-president of the EP after his predecessor, the Greek socialist Eva Kaili, fell into the corruption scandal in Brussels - on November 23, 2022, he met in Strasbourg with key representatives of DatAdat, which plays an active role in the campaign of the Hungarian left - he learned Hungarian Nation.
As the topic of the discussion, the socialist politician wrote "rule of law" in his calendar.
In recent months, it was revealed that DatAdat - whose work includes former left-wing prime minister Gordon Bajnai, his former cabinet chief Viktor Szigetvári, and former secret minister Ádám Ficsor - received HUF 1.8 billion from the United States, through the organization Action for Democracy.
The Magyar Nemzet finds it interesting that the meeting between the Brussels politician and the people of DatAdat took place under the title of "rule of law", since Hungary was cut off from EU funds during the economic crisis in the spirit of this slogan.
After that, the paper introduces the foreign participant of the meeting. Marc Angel from Luxembourg - who openly admits his homosexuality and is an advocate of LGBTQ rights - has been active in local politics since the 1990s. He came to Brussels as a result of the EP elections held almost four years ago, and later became the vice-president of the EP after Kaili was detained together with several of his colleagues because they lobbied for Qatar and Morocco, for which they received hundreds of thousands of euros.
Angel deals a lot with domestic politics in Hungary, and is an active critic of the Child Protection Act and Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. She also regularly posts on her Facebook page, for example in September 2021 she criticized the lack of gender propaganda in schools. The Luxembourg politician contacted DatAdat through his assistant, Roland Gúr. It should be known about Gúr that in the last years of the Gyurcsány-Bajnai era, he worked in the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development until the change of government, from 2011 he was the secretary of the EP delegation of the MSZP, and between 2014 and 2019 he was a colleague of the MSZP's Tibor Szanyi EP representative. That's when he met Marc Angel.
Roland Gúr's father is Nándor Gúr, who was once a socialist member of parliament, so he knows all the owners of DatAdat well. The politician became the Borsod county chairman of the MSZP in 2009, when Ádám Ficsor was the vice-chairman of the party. And he has known Gordon Bajnai for a long time, in the meeting of the Regional Development Council of Northern Hungary on November 17, 2006, the former Prime Minister participated as a government commissioner, while he participated as the representative of the head of the Ministry of Agriculture, József Gráf.
Marc Angel Gúr can be connected to the domestic opposition through Roland. In the joint photo on social media, you can see him with Ferenc Gyurcsány and Klára Dobrev in November 2021, when he held meetings with Ágnes Kunhalmi, as well as current politicians and members of the domestic LGBTQ lobby. In 2022, he also participated in Budapest Pride, where he also posed for a joint picture with many Hungarian left-wing politicians.
Magyar Nemzet asked Angel who took part in last year's meeting in Strasbourg and what they talked about, but the politician did not give a meaningful answer. He wrote that the meeting was not related to a specific legislative or non-legislative procedure, and for data protection reasons they cannot disclose who was present at the meeting on behalf of DatAdat.
