As is known, last March the opposition ordered a total of almost three hundred and fifty-passenger buses from a minibus rental company. DatAdat Professional Kft. spent a total of more than HUF 50 million, while Péter Márki-Zay's Meninki Magyarországa Mozgalom (MMM) spent about HUF 40 million on bus travel and passenger transport.  

Mandiner learned from a source familiar with the official procedure investigating the campaign financing of the united opposition that DatAdat, which is connected to the left and is also involved in the US campaign financing case, was able to entrust a bus service to a company dealing with passenger transport in connection with the campaign event held by the opposition coalition on March 15, with the participation of Donald Tusk. According to Mandiner's information, MMM also signed a contract with the same company in March.

But something is wrong with the orders. According to the contract learned by the paper, both DatAdat and MMM entrusted Fulvia Kft. with the management of bus services. DatAdat, formerly associated with Bajnai Gordon, was able to order 150 buses with fifty passengers each for the already mentioned HUF 50 million.

Márki-Zayék's movement spent 40 million on bus travel at Fulvia Kft. This means that if the company gave them the service at a similar price to that of DatAdat, then MMM could rent approximately 120-125 fifty-passenger buses.

However, according to the company's website, the company mainly deals with the rental of minibuses and cars, which may indicate that they would not have been able to provide the undertaken service themselves. According to Opten's database, in any case, car rental is included in their scope of activity.

So the question arises: how would they be able to provide more than 200 fifty-passenger buses?

This may also be indicated by the fact that, according to a source privy to the investigation, Fulvia Kft. was able to involve subcontractors due to the "size" of the order, and the majority of the nearly one hundred million sum could remain with the main contractor.

It also raises questions that on last year's national holiday there was by no means a large crowd at the opposition event, which would have justified the large number of vehicles.

According to Mandiner's calculations, with such a large fleet of vehicles, they would have been able to transport up to 13-15 thousand people, in comparison even in the left-wing media there was a big controversy about whether there were really enough people on the otherwise rather narrow Műyetem wharf . Since there are two contracts in question, it is not impossible that the company undertook the same service for both parties. But it is also not entirely inconceivable that the leftist campaign organizers wanted to quasi "cover" the volume of the cost by dividing the mandate.

Yesterday morning, the paper turned to MMM, who can be identified as the organizer of last March's event, with the above questions, to which they have not yet received an answer.
