This time, the people of the country learned from András Somos - attention, left-liberals! – that Gábor Kaleta is not a pedophile. Well, sew a button on it!
Recently, ATV has had a surprising number of problems with its own presenters. ATV initiated a disciplinary procedure due to András Somos' statement on Tuesday morning, and it was agreed with the host that Somogyi will not appear on the screen while the procedure is in progress.
The disciplinary procedure took place because he claimed in the discussion program Szigorlat that Gábor Kaleta was not a pedophile. A day later, András Somos announced on Facebook that he was leaving the television profession for good. The presenter posted twice about the case, in his first post he apologized for having worded the Kaleta case incorrectly, as he wrote, completely unnecessarily:
"I know that the common parlance considers the holding of prohibited pornographic recordings to be a pedophile crime, and - completely unnecessarily - as a debatable legal opinion, I stated in one question that what happened was not a pedophile crime. I condemn the recording of minors with sexual content and their storage."
However, today, even before the few days of disciplinary proceedings were concluded, Somos announced on his Facebook page that he had made a decision with a heavy heart during the night and was suspending his television activities.
As he wrote, since 1995 he has been trying to give his maximum in two professions, but now the double workload that lasted for 7 years has backfired, because since 2018 he has also been working as a lawyer. Somos actually attributes to this that he made a serious mistake in the morning broadcast of Szigorlat. Read the full post here:
Somos primarily referred to the fact that in the current public mood - referring to the resignation of the President of the Republic and the immunity case that resulted in last Friday's demonstration, in which Endre K., involved in the crime of pedophile, was acquitted - he could not burden ATV, so he preferred to leave decides on.
By the way, the relevant part of the broadcast, in which the journalists surrounded Péter Márki-Zay and argued with him, can be viewed here, the ominous sentence is uttered at 2 minutes and 15 seconds:
There has been an unusual increase in disciplinary proceedings against ATV presenters recently, this was the third case in four months that the channel had to take action.
First, proceedings were initiated against Tamás Gajdos for not appearing at the studio on time - since he was not the presenter of the Híradó, Tamás Gajdos left ATV's Híradó - however, he continues to appear in programs produced externally. Since then, Gajdos' successor has been found in the person of Máté Gesztesi.
Proceedings were also initiated against Géza Tóth due to delay, but the presenter immediately apologized, and in the end no serious sanction was imposed on the presenter.
