The National Judicial Office and the National Judicial Council sent a message to the leader of the Republic of Denmark together.
The letter written to Ferenc Gyurcsány as faction leader of the Democratic Coalition by the president of the National Court Office (OBH) and the National Judicial Council (OBT). György Senyei and Péter Szabó reacted to the former prime minister's Facebook post yesterday, in which Gyurcsány threatened again. The judges write in relation to the ongoing proceedings against László Varju and András Fekete-Győr that the fact that the participants in a proceeding are politicians does not mean that there are political trials, since
In Hungary, the basic law declares the equality of clients before the law.
At the end of their statement, they rejected Gyurcsány's threat: they wrote that judges and prosecutors can be criticized in relation to their work, but there is no place for threats or insinuations.
"There's no need to be shy. Note the names of the prosecutors and judges. They will be good witnesses in a proceeding against the system"
Ferenc Gyurcsány wrote threateningly on his social media page on Monday.
In his Facebook post, the president of the Democratic Coalition disparaged the court case of András Fekete-Győr and László Varju, saying that the authorities want to put the two left-wing politicians in prison.
As we have already reported , András Fekete-Győr, the former president of Momentum, was sentenced to one year in prison in the second instance for throwing a smoke grenade at a demonstration in 2018 and the subsequent pushing. The court suspended the sentence for two years of probation. In the case of Bendegúz Szarvas Koppány, another member of the party, the suspended prison sentence remained.
